I-File logo  

Taxpayers who dislike dealing with tax forms may prefer

I-File. Our I-File wizard asks taxpayers a series of questions, then compiles a state or school district income tax return based on those answers.

NOTE:  The 2011 Individual Income and School District Income tax returns will be available beginning on January 9th, 2012. Prior year returns are still available for use in responding to a delinquency notice you may have received.

Guide to Using I-File
ePayment  

Taxpayers who owe may use the the Department of Taxation's online ePayment system to pay by credit card or electronic check. This secure system even allows taxpayers to post-date electronic checks (so that payment isn't made until the tax is actually due).

In order to use either of these services, taxpayers should first register with the Online Services Center.

NOTE: The Department will no longer provide the adobe acrobat version of eforms to file your Ohio individual or school district return electronically.  You may continue to file your return(s) electronically through Ohio I-File.

Ohio TeleFile

Telephone

Another filing option is almost as simple as picking up the phone. Ohio's TeleFile system allows most Ohio taxpayers to file a state return by using a touchtone telephone. Click here to learn more about Ohio's TeleFile program.
