Sales Tax Electronic Filing: File Upload
Electronic sales tax filing through the Ohio Business Gateway (OBG) just got easier. Two new options allow businesses with sales in multiple counties to file a single universal sales tax return, or UST-1.
The first option, the "UST-1 County File Upload," allows taxpayers and practitioners to upload a file to the OBG containing multi-county sales and tax liability data for one UST-1 return, saving as many as 184 manual entries for businesses with sales in all Ohio counties.
The second option further simplifies the system. This "Full UST-1 File Upload" capability allows taxpayers and practitioners to create a single file that contains every line item of their sales tax return, then upload it with just a few mouse clicks. This eliminates the need to enter any data into the OBG manually.
The tutorials below explain the file requirements for each capability and provide step-by-step instructions.
