                                        Federal Privacy Act Notice
                 Because we require you to provide us with a Social Security number, the Federal Privacy Act of
                 1974 requires us to inform you that providing us with your Social Security number is manda-
                 tory. Ohio Revised Code sections 5703.05, 5703.057 and 5747.08 authorize us to request this
                 information. We need your Social Security number in order to administer this tax. Your failure to
                 supply any information requested on a tax form prescribed by the tax commissioner may result
                 in (i) the imposition of penalties for failing to file a complete tax return or (ii) the denial of a
                 license, if applicable.
