Thank you to all Ohioans for taking the time to prepare and file the 2022 Ohio income tax return.
You will find some changes this year to Ohio’s income tax filing system. This instruction booklet will explain those changes and
how best to fill out your return.
Please note some of the changes to Ohio’s income tax for tax year 2022:
•
•
•
All tax brackets have been adjusted for inflation. As a result, taxpayers with taxable income of $26,050 or less will pay no
income tax.
A new addition and credit are applicable to investors in a pass-through entity that files the IT 4738.
A new, nonrefundable credit is available for employing certain persons enrolled in a certified vocational training program.
If you aren’t already filing your tax return electronically, please consider joining the 93 percent of taxpayers who do so. It’s more
accurate, more secure, and the quickest way to get a refund. Remember, you can file your Ohio tax return online and for free
with our I-File system.
Please keep in mind the deadline for filing both your Ohio and federal tax return is April 18, 2023. And as a reminder, a request
for a filing extension does not extend your payment due date.
If you have any questions or need a-sistance with your return, you can contact our Taxpayer A-sistance line at 1-800-2821780, or click on ‘Contact Us’ at tax.ohio.gov.
Best wishes,
S
Jeff McClain
Ohio Tax Commissioner

Common Filing Tips for Paper Filers
Write legibly using black ink and UPPERCASE letters.
Double-check your demographic information.
• Verify your name(s) and SSN(s) are correct.

year. Do not change the year on the form or voucher. If you
do this, processing of your form or voucher may be delayed.
Do not write on software-generated returns.
• If you print a software-generated return from a tax preparation
program and later need to change information on the return,
do not write in the changes. Use the software to make the
necessary changes and reprint the return.

on returns generated by tax preparation software.
Use the proper payment voucher.

include the Ohio Schedule of Adjustments.
• If you have an amount on line 9 and/or 16 of your IT 1040,
include the Ohio Schedule of Credits and any appropriate
worksheets.
• If you have an amount on line 11 of your Ohio Schedule of
Adjustments, include the Ohio Schedule IT BUS.
• If you have dependents, include Ohio Schedule of Dependents.
• Ensure your return is placed in the proper order:
1) Ohio IT 1040 (pages 1 and 2)
2) Ohio Schedule of Adjustments
3) Ohio Schedule IT BUS
4) Ohio Schedule of Credits
5) Ohio Schedule of Dependents
6) Ohio Schedule of Withholding
7) Worksheets and attachments
8) Wage and income statements
Include verification for your withholding and credits.

of the required certificates and/or Ohio K-1s.
Do not include any banking information with your return.
• Direct deposit of individual income and school district income
tax refunds is not available to paper filers.
When filing both Ohio and school district income tax returns,

withdrawn within 24 hours of the date you

General Information for the Ohio IT 1040 and SD 100
When Are My Ohio Returns Due?
Most taxpayers must file their Ohio IT 1040
and SD 100 (if applicable) by April 18, 2023.
You must file your return by this date even
if you are unable to pay the tax due. For an
exception for certain military servicemembers, see page 9.
You may check the box above your tax
preparer's name on page 2 of the return to
authorize your preparer to:
● Contact the Department about the status
of your return, payments, or refund;
● Provide the Department with information
missing from your return; AND
● Respond to inquiries or notices from the
Department related to the return.
What Is Modified Adjusted Gross Income?
Modified adjusted gross income is your Ohio
adjusted gross income (Ohio IT 1040, line 3)
plus your business income deduction (Ohio
Schedule of Adjustments, line 11). If you did
not take a business income deduction, your
modified adjusted gross income matches
your Ohio adjusted gross income.
You will need to know your modified adjusted
gross income to determine your personal
exemption amount and if you qualify for any
of the following credits:
● Retirement income credit;
● Lump sum retirement credit;
● Senior citizen credit;
● Lump sum distribution credit;
● Child care and dependent care credit;
● Exemption credit; AND
● Joint filing credit.

Filing extensions: Ohio does not have an
extension request form, but honors the IRS
extension. If you filed an IRS extension, your
due date for filing your Ohio IT 1040 and SD
100 is October 16, 2023. Include a copy of
your IRS extension or IRS acknowledgment,
and/or your extension confirmation number.
Can My Tax Preparer Contact the
Department About My Tax Return?
An extension of time to file does not extend the time for payment of the tax due.
You must make extension payments by April
18, 2023 on the Ohio IT 40P and/or SD 40P.
Interest will accrue on any tax not paid by
April 18, 2023, and penalties may also apply.
See R.C. 5747.08(G) and Ohio Adm. Code
5703-7-05.
What Tax Records Do I Need to Keep?
Keep a copy of your:
● Income tax returns and schedules;
● Wage and income statements;
● Supporting documentation;
● Payment records;
for at least four years from the later of the
filing due date or the date you filed the return. You must be able to support all items
listed on your return. See R.C. 5747.17.
How Should I Complete My Income Tax
Returns?
● Only use black ink.
● Round numbers to the nearest dollar.

CASE only) inside the boxes as shown:

ST R EET
When Will I Receive my Refund?
S
Most taxpayers who file their returns
electronically and request direct deposit
will receive their refunds in approximately
15 business days. Paper returns will take
approximately 8 to 10 weeks to process.
What Information Must a Preparer
Provide?
A tax return preparer must provide his/her
printed name and Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) on all returns. The
PTIN serves as the preparer's signature.
The preparer should not otherwise sign
the return.
See R.C. 5703.263(C) and 5747.08(F).
You may also complete form TBOR 1, Declaration of Tax Representative available at
tax.ohio.gov/forms. This form authorizes
a tax representative to represent you in any
matter before the Department.
See R.C. 5747.08(J).
Should I Make Estimated Tax Payments
for Tax Year 2023?
If your income is subject to Ohio withholding,
you generally do not need to make estimated
payments. You should make estimated payments for tax year 2023 if your estimated
Ohio tax liability (total tax minus total credits)
less Ohio withholding is more than $500.
Estimated payments are made quarterly according to the following schedule:
1st quarter - April 18, 2023
2nd quarter - June 15, 2023
3rd quarter - Sept. 15, 2023
4th quarter - Jan. 16, 2024
Use the Ohio IT 1040ES vouchers to make
estimated Ohio income tax payments. Use
the Ohio SD 100ES vouchers to make estimated Ohio school district tax payments.
You can determine your estimated payments using the worksheet included with the
vouchers. Joint filers should determine their
combined estimated Ohio tax liability and
make joint estimated payments.
Note: Instead of making estimated payments, you can increase your Ohio withholding by filing a revised Ohio IT 4 with
your employer. Also, special rules regarding
estimated payments apply to certain taxpayers with farming and/or fishing income. See
Adm. Code 5703-7-04.
If you do not make the required estimated
payments, you may be subject to an interest
penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes.
See form IT/SD 2210.
For more information, see the "Income - Estimated Income/School District Taxes and the
2210 Interest Penalty" topic at tax.ohio.gov/
FAQ. See also R.C. 5747.09.
Additionally, if you live in an earned income
tax base school district, your taxable income
is limited to only earned income included in
your modified adjusted gross income.
Use the worksheet on page 31 to calculate
your modified adjusted gross income.
See R.C. 5747.01(II).
What if a Taxpayer Is Deceased?
The taxpayer's representative, such as an
executor or administrator, must file the deceased taxpayer's return by:
● Checking the "Deceased" box after the
applicable SSN;
● Selecting the filing status from the federal
income tax return; AND
● Signing the return on behalf of the deceased.
If the taxpayer is due a refund, the check
will be issued in the taxpayer's name. The
taxpayer's representative can present proof
that she or he is the executor or administrator
to the bank when cashing the check.
If the taxpayer's representative needs the
check reissued to include his or her name,
see the "Income - General" topic at tax.ohio.
gov/FAQ for instructions.
See R.C. 5747.08(A).
What if I Move After Filing My Return?
If you move after filing your return, notify the
Department of your new address as soon
as possible. You should also notify the post
office at moversguide.usps.com.

Amending Your Ohio IT 1040 and SD 100
You can file an amended Ohio IT 1040 or
SD 100 to report changes to your originally
filed return(s). An amended return can result in either a tax due or a refund based on
the changes. Under certain circumstances,
an amended return may be required.
Net Operating Loss: To claim a federal NOL
carryback, check both boxes at the top of
the return(s) and include a completed Ohio
Schedule IT NOL. See the instructions for the
Ohio Schedule IT NOL on page 50.
Your amended Ohio IT 1040
and/or SD 100 must be filed
no later than 90 days after the
IRS completes its review of
CAUTION
your federal return, even after
the four-year period has passed. Failure
to file the return within the 90-day period
may result in an a-sessment or a denial
of your refund claim.

● Residency status: Any document supporting your residency change including
property records (mortgage statements,
lease agreements, etc.), driver's licenses
or state IDs, voter registration, resident
state tax returns, armed services records
and utility bills.
● Payments/credits: Copies of your income
statements (W-2, 1099, etc.), Ohio IT K-1,
or credit certificates;
● Nonresident credit: Ohio form IT NRC.
See R.C. 5747.11.
Reporting Additional Tax Due
When Not to Amend Your Return
You should amend your return to report additional income, or reduce a previously claimed
credit or deduction. Such changes may result
in additional tax due. Include payment with
your amended return using an IT 40XP and/
or SD 40XP payment voucher.
Some common mistakes may not require an
amended return. Some examples include:
● Math errors;
● Missing pages or schedules;
● Demographic errors;
● Missing income statements (W-2, 1099,
K-1) or credit certificates;
● Unclaimed payments or withholding.
If the IRS makes changes to your federal return, either based on an audit or an amended
return, and those changes affect your Ohio
return(s), you are required to file an amended
IT 1040 and/or SD 100. The IRS notifies the
Department of these changes.
In these situations, the Department will either make the corrections or contact you to
request documentation.
Requesting a Refund
S
You may amend your return to request an
additional credit, deduction or payment. Such
changes may result in a refund. Generally,
you have four years from the date of the
payment to request a refund. You must include documentation to support the changes
reported on your amended return. Some
common required documentation includes:
● Business Income: Page 1 of your federal
return, the federal schedules reporting
your business income, and IT K-1 forms;
● Social security, disability, survivorship, and
retirement benefits: Copies of 1099(s),
page 1 of your federal return, and the
retirement plan paying the benefits;
Changes to Your Federal Return
Do not file your amended Ohio return(s)
until the IRS has finalized the changes to
your federal return. Once they are finalized,
include a copy of all of the following:
● Your federal 1040X;
● The IRS acceptance letter; AND
● The refund check issued to you by the
IRS, if applicable.
Note: Instead of providing these documents,
you may be able to submit a copy of the
IRS Tax Account Transcript reflecting your
updated federal return information.
If there is a change in your filing status and/
or dependents, it must be reflected on your
amended Ohio return(s). Additionally, for
changes to dependents, complete an updated Ohio Schedule of Dependents.
See R.C. 5747.10.
Changes to Your Resident Credit
You must file an Ohio amended return based
on changes made by another state if all of
the following are true:
● You claimed a resident credit on your Ohio
IT 1040;
● You filed income tax returns in other states;
● The Ohio resident credit claimed was
based on either the taxes due or the taxes
paid to the other states;
● The other states made changes to the
returns; AND
● The changes will affect your Ohio resident
credit calculation.
Your income taxes paid to other states
may change after the four-year period has
passed. If the taxes paid would otherwise
qualify for the Ohio resident credit, you have
an additional 90 days after the changes
have been finalized by the state(s) to file an
amended return and request any refund that
results from the changes.
Once the changes are finalized, please include a copy of all of the following:
● A revised Ohio form IT RC;
● The other state return(s) or correction
notice(s); AND
● Proof of payment to the other state(s).
See R.C. 5747.05(B)(3).

Ohio Income Tax for Military Servicemembers and Their Civilian Spouses
Residency. A military servicemember is a

This is generally the same as the servicemember's "home of record" unless it is subsequently changed. The servicemember's
state of legal residence does not change
based on military orders.

However, the Department recommends
that such taxpayers file an Ohio IT 1040

Extensions to File/Pay. Generally, Ohio
recognizes any extensions granted by the
IRS. Certain military servicemembers will

A servicemember's civilian spouse will also
retain their original state of legal residence
if the servicemember and spouse have
the same state of legal residence and the
spouse is accompanying the servicemember as part of military orders. Additionally, a
civilian spouse can elect to have the same
state of legal residence as the servicemember.
● Line 27 - Deduction for military pay
Deductions. Ohio provides five deductions
to military servicemembers. Only income
included in the taxpayer's federal adjusted
gross income is eligible for these deductions. For example, Ohio Veterans Bonus
payments are not included in federal adjusted gross income and thus are not deductible. The following deductions are in the
"Uniformed Services" section of the Ohio
Schedule of Adjustments:
● Line 26 - Deduction for military pay and
allowances for certain active duty servicemembers stationed outside Ohio
Additionally, a servicemember's nonresident civilian spouse can deduct, on line 27,
compensation earned in Ohio, when the
servicemember and spouse have the same
state of residence and are present in Ohio
due to military orders.
See pages 17-18 for specific instructions on
each of these deductions.
Taxability. The charts below summarize
the taxability of income for military servicemembers and their civilian spouses.
Withholding. A servicemember who qualifies for the deduction on line 26 or a civilian spouse who qualifies for the deduction
on line 27 can complete form IT 4 to avoid
Ohio withholding on income not subject to
tax. Such taxpayers should check the appropriate box in Section III of the IT 4 and
provide the form to their employers.
School District Income Tax. Military servicemembers and their civilian spouses
may be liable for school district income tax
if they are Ohio residents, even if they are
not present in Ohio due to military orders.

Ohio Definitions and Examples of Business and Nonbusiness Income
How Is Business Income Treated on My
Ohio Return?
Generally, income recognized by a sole
proprietorship or pass-through entity is
business income. However, determining
if income is business income is highly
dependent upon the specific facts and
circumstances.
Mineral Rights Income: Cynthia allows
a company to extract minerals from her
residential property. She receives income
based on the company's usage of her land.
Since Cynthia is not engaged in a trade or
business related to this income, it is not
business income.
Pass-Through Income: Ellen owns 15% of
a pass-through entity. She reports $50,000
of ordinary income, $10,000 of bonus
depreciation, and $60,000 of guaranteed
payments on federal Schedule E. Since
Ellen owns less than 20% of the entity, the
guaranteed payments are nonbusiness
income. Thus, her net business income from
federal Schedule E is $40,000 (her ordinary
income less bonus depreciation).

activities of the business during the taxable
year in which the sale occurs or during any
of the five preceding taxable years.
Additionally, Ohio-related business income
earned by nonresidents is taxable to Ohio.
See the instructions for the IT NRC on page 23.
How Does Ohio Law Define Business
and Nonbusiness Income?
"Business income" is income, including gain/
loss, arising from any of the following:
● Transactions, activities, and sources in
the regular course of a trade or business
operation;
● Real, tangible, and intangible property
if the acquisition, rental, management,
and disposition of the property constitute
integral parts of the regular course of a
trade or business operation;
● A partial or complete liquidation of a business, including gain or loss from the sale
or other disposition of goodwill;
● Income from certain sales of equity or
ownership interests in a business; OR
● Compensation and guaranteed payments paid by a pass-through entity, or
a professional employer organization on
its behalf, to an investor who directly or
indirectly owns 20% or more of the entity.
"Nonbusiness income" is any income other
than business income.
See R.C. 5747.01(B), 5747.01(C) and
5733.40(A)(7).
How Do I Determine What Income Is
Business Income?
Business income can be determined by
using either test:
Transactional Test: Looks to the nature,
frequency and regularity of the transaction.
S
Functional Test: Looks to if the property
was integral to the trade or business, or if
it generated business income in the past.
See Kemppel v. Zaino, 2001-Ohio-92.
Sale of an equity or ownership interest in a
business means the sale was treated as an a-set sale for federal income tax purposes
and/or the seller materially participated,
as described in 26 C.F.R. 1.469-5T, in the
What Are Some Examples of Business
Income vs. Nonbusiness Income?
Interest and Dividends: John reports
$1,500 of interest and dividend income on
federal Schedule B. $200 of his interest
income is from a pass-through entity that
primarily operates an investment business.
The remaining $1,300 is from personal,
nonbusiness sources. Thus, only $200 of
John’s interest is business income.
Capital Gains and Losses: Andrew recognizes a capital gain from the sale of a
tractor used to harvest wheat on his farm.
Since the tractor was integral to his farming
business, the capital gain is business
income.
Capital Gains and Losses: Paul reports
$8,000 of capital gain income on his
federal Schedule D. $2,000 of the capital
gains are from a pass-through entity that
primarily operates an investment business.
The remaining $6,000 is from personal,
nonbusiness sources. Thus, only $2,000 of
Paul’s capital gains are business income.
Rental Income and Losses: Debbie owns
a rental property. She actively advertises,
manages, and maintains the property.
Debbie is in the trade or business of property
rental. Therefore, her rental income is
business income.
Rental Income and Losses: Ryan
occupies a home on a golf course. The
golf course hosts a two-week tournament
every year. Ryan annually takes a vacation
to Florida and rents out his home during
the tournament. While the rental might be
considered regular, Ryan is not in the trade
or business of property rental. Therefore,
his rental income is not business income.
Guaranteed Payments: Stan owns 25% of
a pass-through entity. He reports a $60,000
guaranteed payment on federal Schedule
E. Because he owns at least 20% of the
entity, the guaranteed payment is business
income.
Wages/Compensation: Jim owns 80% of
an S corporation. Jim receives $200,000 of
wages from the S corporation, which are
reported on a W-2. Because he owns at
least 20% of the corporation, the wages are
reclassified as business income.
Trust Income: Brett sets up a trust, with
himself as the beneficiary, that invests in
multiple pass-through entities. Operating
income from these entities is distributed
to the trust, which further distributes the
income to Brett. Since the income was
business income to the entities, it retains its
character as business income as it passes
through to the trust and to Brett.
Trust Income: David sets up a trust, with
himself as the beneficiary, to hold his
personal investments. Although David uses
a trust, the usage of a trust does not create a
trade or business. Therefore, the investment
income is nonbusiness income to both the
trust and to David.
Royalty Income: Hannah works full-time
from her home writing children’s books.
Hannah has an agreement with a publisher
that pays her a royalty for each copy of her
book that is sold. Hannah is in the trade or
business of writing books. Therefore, her
royalty income is business income.

General Information for the Ohio IT 1040
Who Must File an Ohio Income Tax
Return?
What Is my Ohio Residency Status?
How Do I Show I Am a Nonresident of
Ohio?
Resident: You are an Ohio resident for
income tax purposes if you are domiciled
in Ohio. Thus, under Ohio law, the terms
“domiciled” and “resident” mean the same
thing.
Any individual can challenge the presumption of Ohio residency by providing
documentation showing that they are a
nonresident. Ohio uses a contact period test
to determine the burden of proof needed to
show that an individual is a nonresident.
Generally, any individual with an abode
in Ohio is presumed to be a resident. The
abode can be either owned or rented.
Temporary absence from your Ohio abode,
no matter how long, does not change your
residency status. Thus, if you live in Ohio,
the presumption is that you are an Ohio
resident.
If you had fewer than 213 contact periods
in Ohio during the tax year, you must
provide enough documentation to show
that it is more likely than not that you were
a nonresident. If you had 213 or more
contact periods, you must provide clear and
convincing documentation that you were a
nonresident.
Example: Brent travels to Florida each
winter and returns to Ohio each spring.
However, he maintains his Ohio driver's
license, voter registration, etc. and has not
established permanent residence in Florida.
Therefore, he is a full-year resident of Ohio.
Alternatively, certain individuals can change
the presumption of Ohio residency to a
presumption of nonresidency by filing the
Ohio Nonresident Statement (form IT NRS).
For more information on this statement, see
pages 13 and 49.
Part-year resident: You are a part-year
resident of Ohio if you were a resident of
Ohio for a portion of the tax year and a
nonresident for the rest of the tax year.
Thus, you are a part-year resident if you
permanently moved into or out of Ohio
during the tax year.
See R.C. 5747.24(B), (C) and (D).

Every Ohio resident and every part-year
resident is subject to the Ohio income tax.
Every nonresident having Ohio-sourced
income must also file. Examples of Ohiosourced income include the following:
● Wages or other compensation earned in
Ohio (see "Exception" below);
● Ohio lottery winnings;
● Ohio casino gaming winnings;
● Income or gain from Ohio property;
● Income or gain from a sole proprietorship
doing business in Ohio;
● Income or gain from a pass-through entity
doing business in Ohio.
Ohio Residency
Exception: A full-year nonresident living in
Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
or West Virginia does not have to file if the
nonresident's only Ohio-sourced income is
wages.
Example: Charley lives in Kentucky but
commutes to Cincinnati every day to her
job. Charley's wages are not taxable in Ohio
even though they are earned here.
You do not have to file an Ohio income
tax return if:
● Your Ohio adjusted gross income (Ohio
IT 1040, line 3) is less than or equal to $0;
● The total of your senior citizen credit,
lump sum distribution credit, and joint filing credit (Ohio Schedule of Credits, lines
4, 5 and 12) is equal to or exceeds your
income tax liability (Ohio IT 1040, line 8c)
and you are not liable for school district
income tax; OR
● Your exemption amount (Ohio IT 1040,
line 4) is the same as or more than your
Ohio adjusted gross income (Ohio IT
1040, line 3).
However, even if you meet one of these exceptions, if you have a school district income
tax liability (SD 100, line 2), you are required
to file the Ohio IT 1040.
Note: If your federal adjusted gross income
is greater than $28,450, the Department
recommends that you file an Ohio IT
1040 or IT 10, even if you do not owe
any tax, to avoid delinquency billings.
S
Ohio IT 10: Certain taxpayers can file Ohio
form IT 10 instead of the Ohio IT 1040. The
four types of taxpayers described on form IT
10 are eligible to file the form if they:
● Do not have an Ohio individual income
or school district income tax liability; AND
● Are not requesting a refund.
Do not file the IT 10 if you file the IT 1040.
See R.C. 5747.08.
Part-year residents are entitled to the
nonresident credit for any income earned
while they were a resident of another state.
They are also eligible for the resident credit
on non-Ohio income earned while they were
an Ohio resident, if they were subject to, and
paid tax on, that income in another state.
Nonresident: You are a nonresident if you
were a resident of another state for the entire
tax year. Nonresidents who earn or receive
income within Ohio will be able to claim the
nonresident credit with respect to all items of
income not earned and not received in Ohio.
If you are currently a member of the
military and you have questions about your
residency status, see page 9.
For more information, see tax.ohio.gov/
residency, or Information Release IT 201801, "Residency Guidelines - Tax Imposed
on Resident and Nonresident Individuals
for Taxable Years 2018 and Forward." See
also R.C. 5747.01(I)(1) and Cunningham v.
Testa, 2015-Ohio-2744.
What Is a Contact Period?
You have a contact period in Ohio if all of
the following are true:
● You have an abode outside of Ohio;
● You are away overnight from your abode;
AND
● While away, you spend any portion of two
consecutive days in Ohio.
You do not have to spend the night in
Ohio. For example, if you spend portions of
Monday and Tuesday in Ohio, but stay in
a hotel in Kentucky on Monday night, you
would still have a contact period in Ohio.
You must spend consecutive days in Ohio to
have a contact period. For example, if you
spend portions of Monday and Wednesday
in Ohio, but not Tuesday, then you would not
have a contact period in Ohio.

state where you resided for the majority of
the tax year.
For more information on Ohio residency,
see page 11.
Ohio Nonresident Statement
Nonresidents who meet certain required
criteria and wish to establish an irrebuttable
presumption of non-Ohio residency for the
tax year may check these boxes instead
of filing form IT NRS. The five required
criteria are listed on page 49 under the
heading, “What Criteria are Required to File
the Ohio Nonresident Statement?”
Nonresidents who file jointly and both meet
the required criteria can each check the
appropriate box to establish an irrebuttable
presumption of non-Ohio residency.
Note: Individuals who do not meet the
required criteria are still able to file as nonresidents. Residents and part-year residents
cannot check these boxes to establish
an irrebuttable presumption of non-Ohio
residency.
Extension Filer
Any taxpayer with a valid federal extension
is allowed an extension of time to file their
Ohio returns. Such taxpayers should check
the box indicating they are a federal extension filer for this tax year to qualify for the
Ohio extension. For more information on
filing extensions, see page 7.
School District Residency Status
Check the box corresponding to your residency status for the school district number
you entered on the return. If you are a partyear resident, enter the dates of residency.
Tax Type
Check the box indicating the tax type of the
school district for which you are filing this
return. The list of school districts on pages
40-45 indicates the tax type of each taxing
school district.
For more information on the two tax types,
see page 46.

tax return. Since Patrick is a dependent
and his parents claim an exemption for him,
he is not eligible for an exemption on his
return. He should check the box indicating
he can be claimed by someone else and
enter $0 on line 4.
You must include a copy of the Ohio
Schedule of Adjustments with your return.
Ohio Schedule of Dependents. If you

found on pages 32-37.
Line 12 – Unpaid Use (Sales) Tax

tax due for the tax year. You owe Ohio use
tax if both of the following are true:

was not collected; AND
● The purchases were not qualifying
purchases made during Ohio's sales
tax holiday.

Ohio retailers when Ohio shoppers buy
from out-of-state sellers who do not collect sales tax. Use tax is most commonly
due on out-of-state purchases such as
those made from the internet, television,
or catalogs.
