General Information

When Nonresident The estate of a nonresident decedent must ﬁ le estate tax forms 2 and 4 if the decedent
Filing Is Required owned the following types of property: real property situated in Ohio, tangible personal
property having an actual situs in Ohio, and intangible personal property employed in
(R.C. Section 5731.19)
carrying on a business within Ohio (unless exempted under R.C. section 5731.34) The
ﬁ ling requirements are the same as for a resident decedent, except the return may be
ﬁ led directly with the county probate court where the Ohio property is located.

Includible Assets When completing estate tax form 2, real estate and other assets, such as bank accounts
and Deductions situated outside of Ohio, should also be reported. Accordingly, when completing the
estate tax form 2, describe and itemize all proper debts, expenses of administration
and deductions. These deductions may include, but are not limited to, real estate taxes,
mortgages and utilities located in and outside of Ohio.

Computation of Tax The nonresident tax base is determined by multiplying the tax due (as computed on
(R.C. Section 5731.19) the estate tax form 2) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the gross value of all
property having a taxable situs in this state, and the denominator of which is the value
of the gross estate wherever situated (line 1 of the estate tax form 2, page 1).

When and Where to Returns are required to be ﬁ led within nine months from decedent’s date of death (see
File (R.C. Section Extension of Time to File, below). All ﬁ lings must be made in duplicate in the county
5731.21) where the principal portion of the property having a taxable situs is located.

When and Where to Tax and interest are paid at the county auditor’s ofﬁ ce, with the check drawn to the
Pay (Tax and Interest) order of the county treasurer. Interest begins to accrue at variable rates nine months
(R.C. Section 5731.23) from the decedent’s date of death regardless of the extended due date. The county
auditor will calculate any interest owing.

Distribution of Tax For dates of death Jan. 1, 2002 – Dec. 31, 2012, 80% of the tax is distributed to the
(R.C. Sections 5731.48 municipal corporation, village or township in which the tax originates, and 20% to the
and 5731.50) state of Ohio. For dates of death between Jan. 1, 2001 through Dec. 31, 2001, 70%
of the tax is distributed to the municipal corporation, village or township in which the
tax originates, and 30% to the state of Ohio. For dates of death before Jan. 1, 2001,
64% of the tax is distributed to the municipal corporation, village or township in which
the tax originates, and 36% to the state of Ohio.

Extension of Time Estates of decedents with a date of death on or after Jan. 1, 2000 are granted an au-
to File (R.C. Section tomatic six-month extension, allowing them a total of 15 months to ﬁ le the estate tax
5731.21) return. Any additional six-month extension must be requested in writing directly to the
Estate Tax Unit on estate tax form 24 before the due date of the return.

Interest on any estate tax due will be calculated from nine months from date of
death regardless if the estate uses the automatic or additional extensions. To
stop the accrual of interest, an estimated payment of tax may be made.
