Return Processing Information
The most efficient and effective way to
file tax returns and make payments for City of Columbus Income Tax is
through CRISP (Columbus Revenue Information Service Portal) at crisp.columbus.gov. Effective September
26, 2022, all tax returns and payments not submitted through CRISP (Columbus
Revenue Information Service Portal) are processed by our banking partner, JPMorgan Chase in a secure, state of the art facility. The decision to process
mail in this manner was made to enhance the security of your sensitive

disaster recovery/continuity of operations. By processing mail through JPMorgan Chase, we can ensure that your information is handled with the utmost care and
protection within a trusted and secure facility. You can expect the same level
of service and attention to detail that you have come to expect from the City
of Columbus. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change,

ARE YOU EXPECTING A REFUND?
We are experiencing significant processing delays this tax
season and appreciate your patience. Some returns may take longer to process
than others due to incomplete returns and/or missing documentation. Unless you
receive a letter from us requesting additional information, you return is still
being processed and our representatives will not be able to give you an
estimated refund date over the phone.
The quickest way to check your refund
status is to access your account directly on CRISP
(crisp.columbus.gov). Please have your filed tax return in front of you for
verification purposes.
