return shall be required unless the taxpayer is liable for a tax
imposed pursuant to Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code. 
(A) If an individual is deceased, any return or notice 
required of that individual under this chapter shall be made and
filed by that decedent's executor, administrator, or other 
person charged with the property of that decedent. 
(B) If an individual is unable to make a return or notice 
required by this chapter, the return or notice required of that 
individual shall be made and filed by the individual's duly 
authorized agent, guardian, conservator, fiduciary, or other 
person charged with the care of the person or property of that 
individual. 
(C) Returns or notices required of an estate or a trust 
shall be made and filed by the fiduciary of the estate or trust.
(D)(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in division (D)(1)
(b) of this section, any pass-through entity may file a single 
return on behalf of one or more of the entity's investors other 
than an investor that is a person subject to the tax imposed 
under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. The single return 
shall set forth the name, address, and social security number or
other identifying number of each of those pass-through entity 
investors and shall indicate the distributive share of each of 
those pass-through entity investor's income taxable in this 
state in accordance with sections 5747.20 to 5747.231 of the 
Revised Code. Such pass-through entity investors for whom the 
pass-through entity elects to file a single return are not 
entitled to the exemption or credit provided for by sections 
5747.02 and 5747.022 of the Revised Code; shall calculate the 
tax before business credits at the highest rate of tax set forth

which the return is filed; and are entitled to only their 
distributive share of the business credits as defined in 
division (D)(2) of this section. A single check drawn by the 
pass-through entity shall accompany the return in full payment 
of the tax due, as shown on the single return, for such 
investors, other than investors who are persons subject to the 
tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. 
(b)(i) A pass-through entity shall not include in such a 
single return any investor that is a trust to the extent that 
any direct or indirect current, future, or contingent 
beneficiary of the trust is a person subject to the tax imposed 
under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. 
(ii) A pass-through entity shall not include in such a 
single return any investor that is itself a pass-through entity 
to the extent that any direct or indirect investor in the second
pass-through entity is a person subject to the tax imposed under
section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. 
(c) Except as provided by division (L) of this section, 
nothing in division (D) of this section precludes the tax 
commissioner from requiring such investors to file the return 
and make the payment of taxes and related interest, penalty, and
interest penalty required by this section or section 5747.02, 
5747.09, or 5747.15 of the Revised Code. Nothing in division (D)
of this section precludes such an investor from filing the 
annual return under this section, utilizing the refundable 
credit equal to the investor's proportionate share of the tax 
paid by the pass-through entity on behalf of the investor under 
division (I) of this section, and making the payment of taxes 
imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code. Nothing in

the Revised Code;

(p) The credit for tuition paid to a nonchartered 
nonpublic school under section 5747.75 of the Revised Code ;
(q) The credit for property taxes or rent-equivalent taxes
paid under section 5747.87 of the Revised Code . 
(3) The election provided for under division (D) of this 
section applies only to the taxable year for which the election 
is made by the pass-through entity. Unless the tax commissioner 
provides otherwise, this election, once made, is binding and 
irrevocable for the taxable year for which the election is made.
Nothing in this division shall be construed to provide for any 
deduction or credit that would not be allowable if a nonresident
pass-through entity investor were to file an annual return.

for under division (D) of this section, the pass-through entity 
shall be liable for any additional taxes, interest, interest 
penalty, or penalties imposed by this chapter if the tax 
commissioner finds that the single return does not reflect the 
correct tax due by the pass-through entity investors covered by 
that return. Nothing in this division shall be construed to 
limit or alter the liability, if any, imposed on pass-through 
entity investors for unpaid or underpaid taxes, interest, 
interest penalty, or penalties as a result of the pass-through 
entity's making the election provided for under division (D) of 
this section. For the purposes of division (D) of this section, 
"correct tax due" means the tax that would have been paid by the
pass-through entity had the single return been filed in a manner
reflecting the commissioner's findings. Nothing in division (D) 
of this section shall be construed to make or hold a pass-
through entity liable for tax attributable to a pass-through 
entity investor's income from a source other than the pass-
through entity electing to file the single return. 
(E) If a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax 
return for a taxable year, they shall file a joint return under 
this section for that taxable year, and their liabilities are 
joint and several, but, if the federal income tax liability of 
either spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax 
return, they shall file separate returns under this section. 
If either spouse is not required to file a federal income 
tax return and either or both are required to file a return 
pursuant to this chapter, they may elect to file separate or 
joint returns, and, pursuant to that election, their liabilities
are separate or joint and several. If a husband and wife file 
separate returns pursuant to this chapter, each must claim the 
taxpayer's own exemption, but not both, as authorized under

section 5747.02 of the Revised Code on the taxpayer's own 
return. 
(F) Each return or notice required to be filed under this 
section shall contain the signature of the taxpayer or the 
taxpayer's duly authorized agent and of the person who prepared 
the return for the taxpayer, and shall include the taxpayer's 
social security number. Each return shall be verified by a 
declaration under the penalties of perjury. The tax commissioner
shall prescribe the form that the signature and declaration 
shall take. 
(G) Each return or notice required to be filed under this 
section shall be made and filed as required by section 5747.04 
of the Revised Code, on or before the fifteenth day of April of 
each year, on forms that the tax commissioner shall prescribe, 
together with remittance made payable to the treasurer of state 
in the combined amount of the state and all school district 
income taxes shown to be due on the form. 
Upon good cause shown, the commissioner may extend the 
period for filing any notice or return required to be filed 
under this section and may adopt rules relating to extensions. 
If the extension results in an extension of time for the payment
of any state or school district income tax liability with 
respect to which the return is filed, the taxpayer shall pay at 
the time the tax liability is paid an amount of interest 
computed at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of 
the Revised Code on that liability from the time that payment is
due without extension to the time of actual payment. Except as 
provided in section 5747.132 of the Revised Code, in addition to
all other interest charges and penalties, all taxes imposed 
under this chapter or Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code and

remaining unpaid after they become due, except combined amounts 
due of one dollar or less, bear interest at the rate per annum 
prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code until paid or 
until the day an assessment is issued under section 5747.13 of 
the Revised Code, whichever occurs first. 
If the commissioner considers it necessary in order to 
ensure the payment of the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the 
Revised Code or any tax imposed under Chapter 5748. of the 
Revised Code, the commissioner may require returns and payments 
to be made otherwise than as provided in this section. 
To the extent that any provision in this division 
conflicts with any provision in section 5747.026 of the Revised 
Code, the provision in that section prevails. 
(H) The amounts withheld pursuant to section 5747.06, 
5747.062, 5747.063, 5747.064, 5747.065, or 5747.071 of the 
Revised Code shall be allowed to the ultimate recipient of the 
income as credits against payment of the appropriate taxes 
imposed on the ultimate recipient by section 5747.02 and under 
Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code. As used in this division, 
"ultimate recipient" means the person who is required to report 
income from which amounts are withheld pursuant to section 
5747.06, 5747.062, 5747.063, 5747.064, 5747.065, or 5747.071 of 
the Revised Code on the annual return required to be filed under
this section. 
(I) If a pass-through entity elects to file a single 
return under division (D) of this section and if any investor is
required to file the annual return and make the payment of taxes
required by this chapter on account of the investor's other 
income that is not included in a single return filed by a pass-

return, the investor is entitled to a refundable credit equal to
the investor's proportionate share of the tax paid by the pass-
through entity on behalf of the investor. The investor shall 
claim the credit for the investor's taxable year in which or 
with which ends the taxable year of the pass-through entity. 
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to allow any credit 
provided in this chapter to be claimed more than once. For the 
purpose of computing any interest, penalty, or interest penalty,
the investor shall be deemed to have paid the refundable credit 
provided by this division on the day that the pass-through 
entity paid the estimated tax or the tax giving rise to the 
credit. 
(J) The tax commissioner shall ensure that each return 
required to be filed under this section includes a box that the 
taxpayer may check to authorize a paid tax preparer who prepared
the return to communicate with the department of taxation about 
matters pertaining to the return. The return or instructions 
accompanying the return shall indicate that by checking the box 
the taxpayer authorizes the department of taxation to contact 
the preparer concerning questions that arise during the 
processing of the return and authorizes the preparer only to 
provide the department with information that is missing from the
return, to contact the department for information about the 
processing of the return or the status of the taxpayer's refund 
or payments, and to respond to notices about mathematical 
errors, offsets, or return preparation that the taxpayer has 
received from the department and has shown to the preparer. 
(K) The tax commissioner shall permit individual taxpayers
to instruct the department of taxation to cause any refund of 
overpaid taxes to be deposited directly into a checking account,
savings account, or an individual retirement account or

plan or program account offered by the Ohio tuition trust 
authority under Chapter 3334. of the Revised Code, as designated
by the taxpayer, when the taxpayer files the annual return 
required by this section electronically. 
(L) If, for the taxable year, a nonresident or trust that 
is the owner of an electing pass-through entity, as defined in 
section 5747.38 of the Revised Code, does not have Ohio adjusted
gross income or, in the case of a trust, modified Ohio taxable 
income other than from one or more electing pass-through 
entities, the nonresident or trust shall not be required to file
an annual return under this section. Nothing in this division 
precludes such an owner from filing the annual return under this
section, utilizing the refundable credit under section 5747.39 
of the Revised Code equal to the owner's proportionate share of 
the tax levied under section 5747.38 of the Revised Code and 
paid by the electing pass-through entity, and making the payment
of taxes imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code.

Subject to division (C) of this section, the credit or rebate

which the claim is made, the amount by which the eligible 
claimant's rent-equivalent tax paid in the claim year exceeds 
five per cent of the eligible claimant's total household 
resources for that year.
(C) The credit or rebate allowed under this section for a 
claim year shall not exceed a specified limit. For the first 
claim year ending on or after the effective date of this

Revised Code. If the amount of the credit under this section 
exceeds the aggregate amount of tax otherwise due under section 
5747.02 of the Revised Code after deduction of all other credits
in that order, the taxpayer is entitled to a refund of the 
excess.
(E)(1) The tax commissioner shall prescribe a form on 
which eligible claimants who are not required to file an annual 
return under this chapter may apply for the rebate authorized 
under this section. Except as provided in division (E)(2) of 
this section, such eligible claimants shall apply for the rebate
on that form after the first day of January following the end of
the claim year but before the fifteenth day of the fourth month 
following the end of that claim year.
(2) An eligible claimant may request an extension of the 
time to file a rebate application under division (E)(1) of this 
section, on a form prescribed by the commissioner. Upon receipt 
of such a request, the commissioner shall extend the due date 
for filing the application to the fifteenth day of the tenth 
month after the last day of the claim year.
(F)(1) The credit or rebate authorized under this section 
shall be allowed to only one eligible claimant per homestead.

described in division (C) of this section by completing the 
following calculations in September of each year:
(1) Determine the percentage increase in the gross 
domestic product deflator determined by the bureau of economic 
analysis of the United States department of commerce from the 
first day of January of the preceding year to the last day of 
December of the preceding year;
(2) Multiply that percentage increase by the total 
household resources limit and the credit or rebate limit for the
current year;
(3) Add the resulting products to the respective limits 
for the current year;
(4) Round the resulting sums to the nearest multiple of 
one thousand dollars, in the case of the total household 
resources limit, or nearest multiple of ten dollars, in the case
of the credit limit.
The adjusted amounts apply to claim years beginning in the
calendar year in which the adjustment is made and to claim years
beginning in each ensuing calendar year until a calendar year in
which a new adjustment is made pursuant to this division. The 
commissioner shall not make a new adjustment in any calendar 
year in which the amount resulting from the adjustment would be 
less than the amount resulting from the adjustment in the 
preceding calendar year.
(H) If a credit or rebate allowed under this section was 
based on an amount of property tax due that differs from the 
actual amount of such taxes paid by the eligible claimant for 
the tax year ending in that claim year, the eligible claimant

ensuing claim year, the claimant shall pay or may request 
payment of the difference, as applicable.
(I) On or before the first day of November of each year, 
the tax commissioner shall determine and publish a home value 
limit and rent limit. The limits shall apply to claim years
