File Your Ohio State Return with Your IRS Return:

Use eFile.com to prepare and electronically file both your current Ohio State tax return (resident, nonresident, or part-year) and your IRS return simultaneously. This is the recommended option for most users.

File Your Ohio State Return Only (Limited Situations):

Important Note: Due to IRS and Ohio state tax regulations, eFile.com cannot currently prepare and e-file only your state return (except for California) without also e-filing your federal return on the same platform.

However, if you've already filed your federal return elsewhere:

You can still use eFile.com to prepare your Ohio state return. You will need to download, print, sign, and mail the completed return to the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Please note: This option is only available in limited cases and comes with additional steps.  The first option (filing both returns together) is generally recommended for most users.

Ohio, IRS Late Filing, Tax Payment Penalties

1. Late Filing Penalty: For each month your tax return is filed after the April 15 deadline, you are charged a $50 late filing penalty or 10% of your taxes owed (whichever amount is greater). The penalty can go up to a $500 maximum.
2. Late Payment Penalty: For each month your taxes due are paid after the April 15 deadline, your amount is doubled (your unpaid tax plus interest). The interest rate on your unpaid tax is 3%.
You may qualify for an offer in compromise with your state tax agency and Authority General for a claim less than your taxes owed (not including penalties or interest) if you have at least one of these situations:

  • Economic hardship (including innocent spouse)
  • Doubt of Collectibility
  • Substantial probability that the claim (if collected) would be sent back to you as a refund under the respective agencies' statutes, rules, or regulations (only in limited instances)
3. IRS Penalties: Calculate and Estimate your potential IRS Income Tax Return Penalties.
