Kenton County has officially opened its electronic business tax filing system, the Filing Wizard, allowing county businesses to file and pay their yearly tax returns online.
“Our goal was to make it easier to do business in Kenton County,” said Kenton County Judge/Executive Kris Knochelmann in a press release from the county. “With multiple cities and multiple tax rates, we needed something that helped businesses of all sizes. The Filing Wizard is the first step towards modern and intuitive annual filing.”
Businesses operating in Kenton County must pay taxes to the county for public services. These rates vary from place to place. A press release from the county stated that it hoped the system would make filing from all the different municipalities in the county easier than filing manually. The system can pull information from a business’s federal tax return to speed up the filing process.
The county also has electronic services for applying for new and renewed business licenses and for filing payroll tax.
