Since Dec. 9, business taxpayers have been able to view their account status online through the OH|TAX eServices system.

This new platform lets you check your account balances, make electronic payments, and access transcripts and payment history.

The OH|Tax eServices platform launched in September 2023 and offers a seamless application for filing returns, making payments, requesting forms, and checking refund status. It allows taxpayers to file personal income and school district returns. The OH|TAX portal integrates with existing State of Ohio filing systems such as the Ohio Attorney General, Ohio Treasurer of State, and Telefile.

With the next phase of the OH|TAX project complete the new portion of the portal offers significant enhancements to the taxpayer experience.

The following tax types are now available in OH|Tax eServices:

  • Sales and Use Tax
  • Employer and School District Withholding
  • School District and Individual Income Tax
  • Adult Use Cannabis
  • Natural Gas Distribution Tax
  • Public Utility Personal Property
  • Public Utility Excise Tax

Users will still access their existing accounts using their Ohio Business Gateway credentials or register new business accounts through the Ohio Business Gateway. After logging in, they will see a new transaction, OH|TAX eServices, which will be used to access the new functionality.
