General information 

regarding this form

             General Information (2017 IT 1040):

1) Dimensions: 
  
  Target or Registration Marks - 6 mm X 6 mm. Follow grid layout for positioning.

   1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved) - .375”H x 1.5”W. Follow grid layout for positioning. Center the barcode  
  number directly under the barcode.

  2D barcode (PDF 417) - See 2D instructions and schema. Follow grid layout for positioning. There is one 
  2D barcode for the IT 1040 and Schedule A.

2) 1D barcode - The last two numbers of the 1D barcode represent the vendor number. Use the same vendor 
number as you did for last year’s return. If you have a question about your barcode assignment, e-mail the Forms 
Unit at Forms@tax.state.oh.us. The first six numbers are constant for this form (170001XX - 170002XX). 

  17 = tax year
  00 = IT 1040 
  01-02 = page number 
  XX = vendor number (assigned to you by the Ohio Dept. of Taxation, Forms Unit)

   NOTE: The vendor number also serves as the first two digits of the SSN in the test scenarios.

3) New! Use Arial font for the static text on the form. The static text for all target marks and header information
(target marks, logo, title and 1D barcode) must match grid.

4) Use monospaced Arial or similar monospaced san serif font for the variable data fields on the form.

5)Follow the grid layout for the variable data fields shown in red. Ensure that the tax year, target or reg-
istration marks, “For Department Use Only” area and the 1D and 2D barcodes follow grid layout.

6) Do not use commas, hyphens or decimals in the variable data fields except where shown in specs.

7)  All monetary fields must always show “00” in the cents field even though there may not be a value for that line.

8) The possible negative fields for this return are lines 1, 3, and 20.  Do not hard-code negative signs. 

9) Provide guidance to customers regarding duplex printing that instructs them to print pages 1 and 2 together. 
Taxpayers have filed returns with pages 2 and 3 duplexed or a worksheet or software receipt on the back of a 
page of the return. This slows the processing of the tax return.

10) New! Generate the following message for customers: “Do not enclose other documentation unless it is 
specified on the tax return or instructions.” Taxpayers often submit worksheets and receipts from the vendor 
product, which slows the processing of tax returns. Any other documents generated from the software must in-
clude a 1D barcode identifying it as additional information.  The preferred placement is centered on the top edge 
of the page within the print area, however placement at any location on the page will be accepted.  Always use 
the following 1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved).

11) If the taxpayer is claiming dependents on the IT 1040, they must file Schedule J. The Schedule J should be 
submitted with the IT 1040 income tax return; it should never be submitted by itself.

12) When the IT 1040 is filed as an amended return, please include the IT RE (Reason of Explanation and Cor-
rections). Make sure that any barcodes on this return represents your vendor number assignment. For example, 
if your last two digits of your 1D barcode are “05”, make sure that these are “05” also.

13) New! For all balance due returns, generate the proper payment voucher.  For an original return use the Ohio 
IT 40P and for an amended return use the Ohio IT 40XP.

14) IMPORTANT NOTE: Add this statement to your software programs. It should print out with the taxpayer’s 
return. “Do not hand write in any corrections on the printed paper return. Hand writing in corrections will 
result in capturing incorrect data and delaying the processing of this income tax return. Make any cor-
rections to this income tax return within [the software program name], then print and mail.”

15) See the 2D barcode instructions for submission details.

                                                      Rev. 11/03/17

                   Important Note

   The following document (2017 Ohio Schedule A) contains grids for 
   placement of information on this specific tax form. To accurately print, 
   do not reduce the size, rotate or center this document. Doing so jeop-
   ardizes the integrity of the grid. When printing from Adobe Reader, 
   select “None” for “Page Scaling,” which is under “Page Handling.”

   The 2017 Ohio Schedule A test samples must be completed and 
   submitted for approval no later than Dec.22, 2017.

General information 

regarding this form

         General Information (2017 Schedule A):

1) Dimensions: 
  
  Target or Registration Marks - 6 mm X 6 mm. Follow grid layout for positioning.

   1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved) - .375”H x 1.5”W. Follow grid layout for positioning. Center the barcode  
  number directly under the barcode.

  2D barcode (PDF 417) - See 2D instructions and schema. Follow grid layout for positioning. There is one 
  2D barcode for the IT 1040 and Schedule A.

2) 1D barcode - The last two numbers of the 1D barcode represent the vendor number. Use the same vendor 
number as you did for last year’s return. If you have a question about your barcode assignment, e-mail the Forms 
Unit at Forms@tax.state.oh.us. The first six numbers are constant for this form (170003XX - 170004XX). 

  17 = tax year
  00 = Schedule A 
  03-04 = page number 
  XX = vendor number (assigned to you by the Ohio Dept. of Taxation, Forms Unit)

   NOTE: The vendor number also serves as the first two digits of the SSN in the test scenarios.

3) New! Use Arial font for the static text on the form. The static text for all target marks and header information
(target marks, logo, title and 1D barcode) must match grid.

4) Use monospaced Arial or similar monospaced san serif font for the variable data fields on the form.

5)Follow the grid layout for the variable data fields shown in red. Ensure that the tax year, target or reg-
istration marks, “For Department Use Only” area and the 1D and 2D barcodes follow grid layout.

6) Do not use commas, hyphens or decimals in the variable data fields except where shown in specs.

7)  All monetary fields must always show “00” in the cents field even though there may not be a value for that line.

8) Provide guidance to customers regarding duplex printing that instructs them to print pages 1 and 2 together. 
Taxpayers have filed returns with pages 2 and 3 duplexed or a worksheet or software receipt on the back of a 
page of the return. This slows the processing of the tax return.

9) New!  Generate the following message for customers: “Do not enclose other documentation unless it is 
specified on the tax return or instructions.” Taxpayers often submit worksheets and receipts from the vendor 
product, which slows the processing of tax returns. Any other documents generated from the software must in-
clude a 1D barcode identifying it as additional information.  The preferred placement is centered on the top edge 
of the page within the print area, however placement at any location on the page will be accepted.  Always use 
the following 1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved).

10) IMPORTANT NOTE: Add this statement to your software programs. It should print out with the taxpayer’s 
return. “Do not hand write in any corrections on the printed paper return. Hand writing in corrections will 
result in capturing incorrect data and delaying the processing of this income tax return. Make any cor-
rections to this income tax return within [the software program name], then print and mail.”

11) See the 2D barcode instructions for submission details.

                                                             Rev. 11/03/17

                        Important Note

   The following document (2017 Ohio IT BUS) contains grids for place-
   ment of information on this specific tax form. To accurately print, do not 
   reduce the size, rotate or center this document. Doing so jeopardizes 
   the integrity of the grid. When printing from Adobe Reader, select 
   “None” for “Page Scaling,” which is under “Page Handling.”

General information 

regarding this form

             General Information (2017 IT BUS):

1) Dimensions: 
  
  Target or Registration Marks - 6 mm X 6 mm. Follow grid layout for positioning.

   1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved) - .375”H x 1.5”W. Follow grid layout for positioning. Center the barcode  
  number directly under the barcode.

  2D barcode (PDF 417) - See 2D instructions and schema. Follow grid layout for positioning. There is one 
  2D barcode for the IT BUS.

2) 1D barcode - The last two numbers of the 1D barcode represent the vendor number. Use the same vendor 
number as you did for last year’s return. If you have a question about your barcode assignment, e-mail the Forms 
Unit at Forms@tax.state.oh.us. The first six numbers are constant for this form (172601XX - 172602XX). 

  17 = tax year
  26 = IT BUS 
  01-02 = page number 
  XX = vendor number (assigned to you by the Ohio Dept. of Taxation, Forms Unit)

   NOTE: The vendor number also serves as the first two digits of the SSN in the test scenarios.

3) New! Use Arial font for the static text on the form. The static text for all target marks and header information
(target marks, logo, title and 1D barcode) must match grid.

4) Use monospaced Arial or similar monospaced san serif font for the variable data fields on the form.

5)Follow the grid layout for the variable data fields shown in red. Ensure that the tax year, target or reg-
istration marks, “For Department Use Only” area and the 1D and 2D barcodes follow grid layout.

6) Do not use commas, hyphens or decimals in the variable data fields except where shown in specs.

7)  All monetary fields must always show “00” in the cents field even though there may not be a value for that line.

8) The possible negative fields for this return are lines 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Do not hard-code negative signs.

9) Provide guidance to customers regarding duplex printing that instructs them to print pages 1 and 2 together. 
Taxpayers have filed returns with pages 2 and 3 duplexed or a worksheet or software receipt on the back of a 
page of the return. This slows the processing of the tax return.

10) New! Generate the following message for customers: “Do not enclose other documentation unless it is 
specified on the tax return or instructions.” Taxpayers often submit worksheets and receipts from the vendor 
product, which slows the processing of tax returns. Any other documents generated from the software must in-
clude a 1D barcode identifying it as additional information.  The preferred placement is centered on the top edge 
of the page within the print area, however placement at any location on the page will be accepted.  Always use 
the following 1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved).

11) IMPORTANT NOTE: Add this statement to your software programs. It should print out with the taxpayer’s 
return. “Do not hand write in any corrections on the printed paper return. Hand writing in corrections will 
result in capturing incorrect data and delaying the processing of this income tax return. Make any cor-
rections to this income tax return within [the software program name], then print and mail.”

12) See the 2D barcode instructions for submission details.

                                                           Rev. 11/03/17

                        Important Note

   The following document (2017 Ohio Schedule of Credits) contains 
   grids for placement of information on this specific tax form. To accurately 
   print, do not reduce the size, rotate or center this document. Doing so 
   jeopardizes the integrity of the grid. When printing from Adobe Reader, 
   select “None” for “Page Scaling,” which is under “Page Handling.”

   The 2017 Ohio Schedule of Credits test samples must be com-
   pleted and submitted for approval no later than Dec.22, 2017.

General information 

regarding this form

 General Information (2017 Schedule of Credits):

1) Dimensions: 
  
  Target or Registration Marks - 6 mm X 6 mm. Follow grid layout for positioning.

   1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved) - .375”H x 1.5”W. Follow grid layout for positioning. Center the barcode  
  number directly under the barcode.

  2D barcode (PDF 417) - See 2D instructions and schema. Follow grid layout for positioning. There is one 
  2D barcode for the Schedule of Credits.

2) 1D barcode - The last two numbers of the 1D barcode represent the vendor number. Use the same vendor 
number as you did for last year’s return. If you have a question about your barcode assignment, e-mail the Forms 
Unit at Forms@tax.state.oh.us. The first six numbers are constant for this form (172801XX - 172802XX). 

  17 = tax year
  28 = Schedule of Credits 
  01-02 = page number 
  XX = vendor number (assigned to you by the Ohio Dept. of Taxation, Forms Unit)

   NOTE: The vendor number also serves as the first two digits of the SSN in the test scenarios.

3) New! Use Arial font for the static text on the form. The static text for all target marks and header information
(target marks, logo, title and 1D barcode) must match grid.

4) Use monospaced Arial or similar monospaced san serif font for the variable data fields on the form.

5)Follow the grid layout for the variable data fields shown in red. Ensure that the tax year, target or reg-
istration marks, “For Department Use Only” area and the 1D and 2D barcodes follow grid layout.

6) Do not use commas, hyphens or decimals in the variable data fields except where shown in specs.

7)  All monetary fields must always show “00” in the cents field even though there may not be a value for that line.

8) Provide guidance to customers regarding duplex printing that instructs them to print pages 1 and 2 together. 
Taxpayers have filed returns with pages 2 and 3 duplexed or a worksheet or software receipt on the back of a 
page of the return. This slows the processing of the tax return.

9) New!  Generate the following message for customers: “Do not enclose other documentation unless it is 
specified on the tax return or instructions.” Taxpayers often submit worksheets and receipts from the vendor 
product, which slows the processing of tax returns. Any other documents generated from the software must in-
clude a 1D barcode identifying it as additional information.  The preferred placement is centered on the top edge 
of the page within the print area, however placement at any location on the page will be accepted.  Always use 
the following 1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved).

10) IMPORTANT NOTE: Add this statement to your software programs. It should print out with the taxpayer’s 
return. “Do not hand write in any corrections on the printed paper return. Hand writing in corrections will 
result in capturing incorrect data and delaying the processing of this income tax return. Make any cor-
rections to this income tax return within [the software program name], then print and mail.”

11) See the 2D barcode instructions for submission details.

                                                      Rev. 11/03/17

                   Important Note

   The following document (2017 Ohio Schedule J) contains grids for 
   placement of information on this specific tax form. To accurately print, 
   do not reduce the size, rotate or center this document. Doing so jeop-
   ardizes the integrity of the grid. When printing from Adobe Reader, 
   select “None” for “Page Scaling,” which is under “Page Handling.”

   The 2017 Ohio Schedule J test samples must be completed and 
   submitted for approval no later than Dec.22, 2017.

General information 

regarding this form

         General Information (2017 Schedule J):

1) Dimensions: 
  
  Target or Registration Marks - 6 mm X 6 mm. Follow grid layout for positioning.

   1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved) - .375”H x 1.5”W. Follow grid layout for positioning. Center the barcode  
  number directly under the barcode.

  2D barcode (PDF 417) - See 2D instructions and schema. Follow grid layout for positioning. There is one 
  2D barcode for the Schedule J.

2) 1D barcode - The last two numbers of the 1D barcode represent the vendor number. Use the same vendor 
number as you did for last year’s return. If you have a question about your barcode assignment, e-mail the Forms 
Unit at Forms@tax.state.oh.us. The first six numbers are constant for this form (172301XX - 172302XX). 

  17 = tax year
  00 = Schedule J 
  01-02 = page number 
  XX = vendor number (assigned to you by the Ohio Dept. of Taxation, Forms Unit)

   NOTE: The vendor number also serves as the first two digits of the SSN in the test scenarios.

3) New! Use Arial font for the static text on the form. The static text for all target marks and header information
(target marks, logo, title and 1D barcode) must match grid.

4) Use monospaced Arial or similar monospaced san serif font for the variable data fields on the form.

5)Follow the grid layout for the variable data fields shown in red. Ensure that the tax year, target or reg-
istration marks, “For Department Use Only” area and the 1D and 2D barcodes follow grid layout.

6) Do not use commas, hyphens or decimals in the variable data fields except where shown in specs.

7)  All monetary fields must always show “00” in the cents field even though there may not be a value for that line.

8) Provide guidance to customers regarding duplex printing that instructs them to print pages 1 and 2 together. 
Taxpayers have filed returns with pages 2 and 3 duplexed or a worksheet or software receipt on the back of a 
page of the return. This slows the processing of the tax return.

9) New!  Generate the following message for customers: “Do not enclose other documentation unless it is 
specified on the tax return or instructions.” Taxpayers often submit worksheets and receipts from the vendor 
product, which slows the processing of tax returns. Any other documents generated from the software must in-
clude a 1D barcode identifying it as additional information.  The preferred placement is centered on the top edge 
of the page within the print area, however placement at any location on the page will be accepted.  Always use 
the following 1D barcode (2 of 5 interleaved).

10) IMPORTANT NOTE: Add this statement to your software programs. It should print out with the taxpayer’s 
return. “Do not hand write in any corrections on the printed paper return. Hand writing in corrections will 
result in capturing incorrect data and delaying the processing of this income tax return. Make any cor-
rections to this income tax return within [the software program name], then print and mail.”

11) See the 2D barcode instructions for submission details.

Note: This form is not captured, but is required for 

submissions of any amended test scenarios. The last 

two-digits of the barcode for this form is the same as 

what you were assigned for the other scanned forms.

        • A four-digit vendor code identifying the software developer whose application 
          produced the barcode 
   Jurisdiction 
        • Static for all barcodes, value is OH 
   Description 
        • A four-digit form identifier, specific to each form 
   Spec Version 
        • A one-digit specification version control number starting with the number zero
