A Message From the Ohio Tax Commissioner Dear Ohio Taxpayers, U B JE D U N CT RA T IL T FT O 12 C /3 H 0/ AN 22 G E 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 assistance with your return, you can contact our Taxpayer Assistance line at 1-800-2821780, or click on ‘Contact Us’ at tax.ohio.gov.

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.

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.

Generally, Ohio recognizes any extensions granted by the IRS. Certain military servicemembers will have the same extensions to file their Ohio returns and pay any Ohio tax due. These servicemembers do not owe interest, penalties, or the interest penalty in connection with this extension period. See R.C. 5747.026 for more information. U B JE D U N CT RA T IL T FT O 12 C /3 H 0/ AN 22 G E 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.

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). U B JE D U N CT RA T IL T FT O 12 C /3 H 0/ AN 22 G E Taxpayers can deduct the first $250,000 ($125,000 for married separate filers) of their business income included in their federal adjusted gross income. Also, any business income not deducted is taxed at a flat 3%. See the instructions for the Ohio Schedule IT BUS on page 19. 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 asset 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.

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). U B JE D U N CT RA T IL T FT O 12 C /3 H 0/ AN 22 G E 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.

About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
