A marital deduction is an estate tax deduction that allows one spouse to transfer upon death an unlimited amount of property to his/her spouse without creating liability for estate or gift tax. The disadvantage is that, although you can transfer any amount that you want to your spouse, if your spouse survives you (and does not remarry), there will be no marital deduction available to lessen the estate tax liability at his or her later death.
The marital deduction may only be taken for transfers of property between spouses. Whether a couple is married or not is determined under state law. For transfers at death, the marital deduction applies only to property included in the gross estate for federal estate tax purposes.
A bypass trust allows a married couple, in certain cases, to shelter more of their estate from estate taxes. The first spouse to die can leave assets in a trust which can provide income to the surviving spouse for the rest of his or her life, taking advantage of the unified credit provided under Federal Gift and Estate Tax law. Upon the death of the second spouse, the assets in the trust pass directly to the children or other beneficiaries, without being taxed at the second spouse's death.

Local income tax is usually based on where a taxpayer lives, but in some cases, taxpayers also owe local income tax based on where they perform work (for example, if they commute). You may have withholding obligations based on where your company does business or based on where your employees perform work.
Columbus residents pay a total of 2.5% in taxes on all income earned, regardless of whether it was earned in Columbus or another city.
