 Use your computer to fill out your return electronically
The Ohio Department of Taxation is developing yet another convenient way for you to file returns electronically. eForms are Adobe Acrobat PDF forms that allow you to fill in your tax return information online – much as you would fill out a form on paper – then print, save or submit the return directly to us.
eForms offer so many benefits:
- eForms takes care of most of the tax calculations for you.
- Paperless processing saves money and time.
- eForms enable us to provide you better customer service by simplifying the exchange of tax return information.
Hardware and software requirements
Browser requirements: You will need a computer with a standard browser and access to the Internet. The browser must be capable of 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
Session cookies must be enabled. The default settings for most browsers have session cookies enabled, so you will be able to use this site unless you have specifically modified this browser option.
Adobe Reader 7.0.5 or greater is required for the PDF Fill-in forms. Please visit Adobe's Web site at www.adobe.com if you do not have this version.
How it works
eForms will display an Ohio income tax return form on your computer screen. Next, just fill in the lines on the return that apply to you. eForms will do most of the math calculations and figure out the tax for you. After you complete the eForm return, either file the return electronically or print it out and send it to us in the mail. If you file electronically, you will be required to complete the online registration process. eForms will guide you through the registration and transmission of the return and provide you with a filing confirmation number.
