2015 Ohio IT 1040 / Instructions

A Message From the Ohio Tax Commissioner

Dear Ohio Taxpayers,
I want to offer my sincere thanks for your assistance with our efforts to ﬁ ght the increase in attempted tax fraud in Ohio.
The federal government and all states with an income tax continue to see an onslaught of fraudulent tax returns using
stolen personal identiﬁ cation information to try to illegally obtain tax refunds.
Last year, Ohio intercepted a record number of fraudulent returns. We expect no let-up in this illegal activity and so
we’ve strengthened our security efforts in coordination with the IRS, tax preparers and the banking community.
This year, Ohio will again be using an Identity Conﬁ rmation Quiz to help ensure that tax refunds are paid only to
legitimate ﬁ lers. The quiz is an invaluable tool, and we have incorporated changes that are designed to make the
experience smoother for all those taxpayers asked to take the quiz.
On an exciting note, the 2015 tax return reﬂ ects new tax cuts for most individuals and small business taxpayers. For
individuals, tax rates have been reduced 6.3%. For many business owners and investors, the small business deduction
has been enhanced to help them strengthen and grow their businesses. They will again be entitled to deduct 75% of
the ﬁ rst $250,000 of net business income and then for the ﬁrst time in Ohio, a ﬂat tax – with a low rate of 3% – will
apply to business income above $250,000.
The department is continuously looking for ways to simplify the personal income tax ﬁ ling process. This year, several
tax forms have been revamped to make the process easier. The IT 1040, IT 1040EZ and amended IT 1040X forms
have been combined into one Universal IT 1040 tax return. Likewise, the regular SD 100 and amended SD 100X
school district forms became the Universal SD 100 tax return.
We are encouraged that more than 86% of returns were ﬁ led online last year and urge you to consider the beneﬁ ts of
ﬁling electronically if you haven’t already made the switch from paper. Refunds are issued faster, errors are reduced,
and processing costs are cut signiﬁ cantly.
We expect that this publication will give you all you need to successfully and easily prepare and ﬁ le your return.
However, if you still have questions, please visit our Web site at tax.ohio.gov or call 1-800-282-1780 for personal
taxpayer assistance. The department also maintains a 24-hour refund hotline at 1-800-282-1784.
Together, with your help, we will continue to make Ohio a better place to live and work.
Sincerely,

Joe W. Testa
Ohio Tax Commissioner
