Ohio's New Online Tax Service

The next phase of OH|TAX eServices is underway

A year ago, the Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) launched the OH|TAX eServices platform for the management of personal income and school district taxes.

This seamless application allows users to file returns, make payments, request forms, check their refund status and much more, all in one user-friendly portal. 

The next phase of OH|TAX eServices is underway and will allow taxpayers to file even more returns, such as: sales and use tax, employer and school district withholding tax, adult use cannabis tax, public utility personal property tax, public utility excise tax and natural gas excise tax. This new part of the portal is set to go live in December 2024.
