This provision does not apply to a tax return preparer in any calendar year if, during the previous calendar year, the tax return preparer prepared not more than 10 original tax returns. See R.C. 5747.082 IT 1041 Rev. 12/23 Filing Tips Provide a Current Address The Department uses the most up-to-date address on file to send correspondence, billings, assessments and refunds. If the address is not correct, refunds and notices will be mailed to the incorrect address. To update an address, check the box above the address line on the return or visit the Business Address Update page at tax. ohio.gov to change the address. Verify the IT 1041 and UPCs are for the Correct Tax Year Verify the UPC reflects the correct name, address and federal employer identification number (FEIN) for the correct application of the payment. Maintain a Bank Account The trust or estate must maintain its bank account to ensure it can receive refunds after its closing date. The Department cannot change the name on a refund check, nor issue the check directly to a trustee or beneficiary, due to the closing or termination of a trust or estate. Report FEIN or SSN in Correct Field Do not enter an SSN in the FEIN field nor enter a FEIN in the SSN field. Determine Residency of the Trust A trust’s residency is determined under Ohio law using a series of tests; it is not determined based on the location of either the trustee or the administration of the trust’s assets. Please note, it is possible that more than one residency test can apply to all or a portion of a trust. See R.C. 5747.01(I)(3) and Information Release IT 2003-02 - Trust Residency. Reprint Corrected Software-Generated Paper Returns If the printed software-generated return from a tax preparation program subsequently requires changes on the return, do not write in the changes. Use the software to make the necessary changes, save, and reprint the return. The Department’s system will not pick up handwritten changes on returns generated by tax preparation software. Complete All Applicable Schedules on the Return When filing via a software program, complete all relevant schedules and do not override any line items. Information from schedules on the return flows to other lines that are used to calculate the tax liability. If the schedules are not completed, a value of zero will flow to the corresponding lines, which will override any amounts that may have been entered. The return will be recalculated accordingly, resulting in a potential billing notice or reduced refund. Report Trust income as Follows: ● Qualifying trust amounts on schedule VI (see page 13 for instructions); ● Apportioned modified business income and qualifying investment income on schedule VII (see page 13 for instructions); ● Allocated modified nonbusiness income on schedule VIII (see page 13 for instructions). Trust income categorized incorrectly may result in a potential billing notice or refund reduction. Report Apportionment Ratio and Ownership Percentage Enter percentages and ratios in decimal format (e.g., report 30.09% as .3009; Report 100% as 1.0000.) Enter apportionment ratios in decimal format and carry to six decimal places. In addition, do not enter text (e.g., “null” or “zero”) in numeric fields. -4- IT 1041 Rev. 12/23 Report Estimated Payments, Withholding, and Credits on Correct Lines Incorrect reporting of the payments, withholdings, and credits may result in a denied/reduced refund or bill. ● Report estimated payments, withholding and/or overpayments previously claimed on Schedule XI - Net Payment Worksheet as follows:Line 79a: Enter estimated payments made with an IT 1041 UPC or EFT payments made through the Ohio Treasurer of State for this tax year; ● Line 79b: Enter 1099 withholding; ● Line 79c: Enter W-2 withholding; ● Line 79e: [Amended Return ONLY] Enter the refund amount from line 17 from the original return filed for this tax year. ● Report refundable business credits on Line 15 of Schedule I and on Schedule XII – Refundable Business Credits as follows: ● Line 81: Enter the Motion Picture/Broadway credit; ● Line 82: Enter the refundable portion of the Job Retention credit and the Job Creation credit; ● Line 83: Enter the Pass-Through Entity credit; ● Line 84: Enter the Venture Capital credit; ● Line 85: Enter the refundable portion of the Ohio Historic Preservation credit. ● Report nonrefundable business credits on Line 10 of Schedule I and on Schedule E. Include a copy of Schedule E, Schedule of Nonrefundable Business Credits, and include copies of the required certificates and/or IT K-1s for verification. ● Do not use Schedule E to claim refundable credits. Instead, claim refundable credits on the appropriate “refundable credits” line. Calculate the Resident Tax Credit on the Trust’s Modified Nonbusiness income Include only the modified nonbusiness income in the calculation of the resident trust tax credit on Schedule IX. Failure to do so may result in a denied/reduced refund or bill. Report Proportionate Share of Credits A distribution made by a trust/estate may affect the amount of a credit it is allowed to claim on its IT 1041. Credits must be shared between the trust or estate and the beneficiaries in proportion to the income retained versus distributed. See R.C. 5747.02(C)(3). -5- IT 1041 Rev. 12/23 Payment Options First-Time Filers: Submit PTE Registration Form Before First Estimated Payment If the trust or estate is a first-time filer, submit the Pass-Through Entity and Fiduciary Income Tax Registration Form before submitting the first estimated payment. The form can be found on the tax.ohio.gov website in the Tax Forms search. Failure to submit the registration form may result in a delay in processing the estimated payment(s), resulting in a billing notice or refund delay. Submit a Separate Check for Each Balance A separate check is required for each tax return payment, estimated payment, billing/assessment payment, etc. The Department cannot apply a single check to multiple balances. The check or money order should be made payable to “Ohio Treasurer of State” with identifying information on the memo line, including: ● Federal employer identification number (FEIN), or SSN for decedent’s estate only ● Tax form using the payment (IT 1041) ● Tax year end for the payment (mm-dd-yy) Using Payment Coupons Created by Third-Party Software Before submitting a payment coupon created by third party software, please verify the reporting period end date matches the software-generated Key ID numbers and the number string at the bottom of the payment coupon, in the format MMYY. If mismatched, the payment will be misdirected, causing a delay in processing the estimated payment(s), resulting in a billing notice or refund delay. Please contact the thirdparty software company’s support line to resolve. Methods for Making PTE and Fiduciary Income Tax Payments 1. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): Payments may be remitted by EFT (ACH credit) via the Ohio Treasurer of State (TOS). Any questions about the EFT payment process should be directed to the Ohio Treasurer of State by calling (877)338-6446. This is an ACH credit option; the entity initiates the payment through its own bank. No online credit card payment or ACH debit option exists at this time either through the Ohio Treasurer of State (TOS) or the Ohio Department of Taxation. Access the applicable tax form-specific link below for the information page with the TOS routing/ account numbers and codes/format the financial institution must use to issue the ACH credit via the TOS payment option: IT 4708 Pass-Through Entity Composite Income Tax Payments IT 1140 Pass-Through Entity and Trust Withholding Tax Payments IT 1041 Fiduciary Income Tax (Trusts and Estates) Payments IT 4738 Electing Pass-Through Entity Income Tax Payments NOTE: The TOS no longer requires PTE and fiduciary filers to submit an EFT authorization form to register before making an IT 4708, IT 4738, IT 1140 and/or IT 1041 payment via ACH credit (no ACH debit option). 2. Check or Money Order: Make check or money order payable to “Ohio Treasurer of State.” A payment made by a check or money order must be submitted with the appropriate Ohio Universal Payment Coupon (UPC) based on the form filed. All UPCs can be found on the tax.ohio.gov website in the searchable Tax Forms section by entering “UPC” in the Form Title or Number field. Please mail the payment and UPC to the address on the UPC or hand deliver to our self-service walk-in center. Electronic Check: When filing electronically through an approved software program, the PTE or fiduciary has the option to make a payment by electronic check in the form of an Electronic Funds Withdrawal, or direct debit. The direct debit option is only available for e-filed returns. For mailed returns created from an approved software program, the options for payment are 1) Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), or check or -6- IT 1041 Rev. 12/23 money order, as listed above. For a current list of approved software programs, please see the Software Developers page on the Ohio Department of Taxation website, and search for the most recent MeF Approval Status link. Please contact the software companies directly for their electronic payments support. Completing the Universal Payment Coupon (UPC) Each payment made by check or money order must be submitted with the appropriate Ohio Universal Payment Coupon (UPC). Application of payments is driven by the UPC used and is based on which form is filed (i.e., IT 1041, IT 4708, IT 4738, or IT 1140). Each UPC allows the Taxpayer to make either an estimated payment (“ES” payment) or payment submitted with the tax return (“P” payment). Only one type of payment can be made on each UPC submitted. All UPCs can be found on the searchable Tax Forms page by entering “UPC” in the Form Title or Number field. The IT 1041 UPC is used by trusts and estates to make either an estimated payment (IT 1041ES Trust or Estate) or a payment submitted with the trust/estate return (IT 1041P Trust or Estate). When completing the UPC: ● Indicate the reporting period by providing the filing period start date and end date in the format mm-ddyy; ● Specify the appropriate payment type (IT 1041ES Trust or Estate or IT 1041P Trust or Estate); ● Enter the entity type code in the box above the payment amount (*see codes on instructions page above UPC); ● Enter the amount of payment as a whole number without a decimal, as the UPC features a preprinted “.00”; ● A FEIN should be entered for a trust. The SSN field should only be used by the estate. Sample IT 1041 UPC: This form must be included with each check or money order. Include a Check or Money Order with each IT 1041 UPC Payable to “Ohio Treasurer of State” with identifying information on the memo line, including: ● Federal employer identification number (FEIN), or SSN for decedent’s estate only ● Tax form using the payment (IT 1041) ● Tax year end for the payment (mm-dd-yy) -7- 2023 Ohio Form IT 1041 General Instructions Who must file the IT 1041? All estates and trusts, including foreign estates and trusts, that are subject to the Ohio fiduciary income tax must file the IT 1041 and pay any tax due. All estates are subject to tax on their Ohio taxable income, while all trusts are subject to tax on their modified Ohio taxable income. Generally, estates that file the federal 1041 and reside in Ohio, or earn or receive income in Ohio, must file the IT 1041. Trusts that file the federal 1041 or the federal 1040NR and have retained earnings and earn or receive income that is allocable or apportionable to Ohio, must file the IT 1041. Foreign estates and trusts are not necessarily exempt from Ohio income tax. Instead, Ohio levies its fiduciary income tax on every estate or trust residing in or earning or receiving income in Ohio. “Trust” is specifically defined to include any trust described in IRC §641- §685 that is not one of the following trusts: ● Grantor trusts ● Charitable remainder trusts ● Retirement trusts ● Pre-need funeral trusts ● Qualified funeral trusts ● Endowment and perpetual care trusts ● Qualified settlement trust and funds ● Retirement trust funds See R.C. 5747.02(A)(1) and (2), 5747.02(D), 5747.01(S), and 5747.01(AA). How does the residency of the trust affect the taxation of the trust? A trust’s residency status only affects how its modified nonbusiness income is taxed. A trust’s modified nonbusiness income is the portion of the trust’s Ohio taxable income that is not included on schedules VI – Allocated Qualifying Trust Amounts and VII Apportioned Income Amounts of the IT 1041. Some examples of modified nonbusiness income that are taxable to Ohio can be found under the section on this page labeled “What Trust Income is Subject to Tax?” Generally, most income reported by a trust is modified nonbusiness income. A resident trust is required to pay Ohio income tax on all modified nonbusiness income but may claim a resident credit on Schedule IX of the IT 1041. The resident credit equals the lesser of modified nonbusiness income subjected to tax in another state, or the amount of tax paid to another state on that income. Conversely, a nonresident trust is required to pay Ohio income tax on the items of modified nonbusiness income only to the extent they are from property that is located in Ohio or intangible property used in Ohio. Additionally, lottery winnings are taxable as modified nonbusiness income. IT 1041 Rev. 12/23 See R.C. 5747.01(AA)(3), (4)(c) and 5747.20(B). Is a trust that only has investment income required to file? A resident trust investing only in savings accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds, commercial paper and/or mutual funds will owe Ohio income tax if the trust had federal taxable income after distributions. The tax on each resident trust is based on the trust’s federal taxable income, plus or minus the adjustments set forth on the IT 1041. However, a nonresident trust investing only in savings accounts, certificates of deposit, publicly traded stocks, bonds, commercial paper and/ or mutual funds will not owe any Ohio income tax. See R.C. 5747.01(I)(3), 5747.01(S), 5747.01(AA)(3) and (4)(c) and 5747.20(B). If the trust or estate has a loss is it still required to file an IT 1041? The trust or estate may still have an IT 1041 filing requirement, even if it reports a loss on the federal 1041 during the tax year, as adjustments on Schedule II could result in Ohio taxable income. The trust or estate is not required to file the IT 1041 if the following three scenarios apply: ● The trust or estate’s federal 1041 or federal 1040NR shows no taxable income or has a negative taxable income (e.g., simple trusts and most estate tax returns); ● The trust or estate did not earn or receive any Ohio sourced income during the tax year; AND ● There are no Ohio adjustments that would result in Ohio taxable income. See R.C. 5747.02 and 5747.08. How does a federal §645 election impact the IT 1041? An election under IRC §645 allows the executor of an estate and the trustee of a revocable trust to elect to treat the trust as part of the estate for federal tax purposes. The beneficiaries of an estate that make a §645 election must use the federal taxable income as the starting point for completing the IT 1041. The estate must also designate the same estate type(s) selected on the federal 1041. The estate may only claim deductions and credits available to an estate on its IT 1041; it cannot claim any credits or deductions, and should not check any boxes, available only to trusts. However, the beneficiary can claim any credits and withholding amounts belonging to the trust identified in the §645 election. Note: The estate must include a copy of the federal return when filing the IT 1041 as evidence of its §645 election. What Trust Income is Subject to Tax? A trust is taxed on its “modified Ohio taxable income.” The modified Ohio taxable income is based on -8- IT 1041 Rev. 12/23 the trust’s federal taxable income, subject to the adjustments on Schedule II of the IT 1041. After determining its “modified Ohio taxable income” the trust must determine which of the following types of income it is required to report: ● Qualifying trust amount: Capital gains and losses from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of equity or ownership interests in, or debt obligations of, a qualifying investee to the extent included in the trust’s Ohio taxable income, but only if the following requirements are satisfied: ● The book value of the qualifying investee’s physical assets in this state and everywhere as of the last day of the qualifying investee’s fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss available to the trust. ● The trust owns at least 5% of the qualifying investee during the previous 10 years. ● Modified Business Income: Business income included in a trust’s Ohio taxable income after such taxable income is first reduced by the qualifying trust amount, if any. ● Qualifying Investment Income: acquisition, ownership, or disposition of intangible property, loan fees, financing fees, consent fees, waiver fees, application fees, net management fees, dividend income, interest income, net capital gains from the sale or exchange of intangible property, or distributive shares of income. ● Modified Nonbusiness Income: Is a portion of the trust’s Ohio taxable income other than the qualifying trust amount, and other than the allocated qualifying trust amount, and apportioned income amounts; to the extent such qualifying investment income is not otherwise part of modified business income. Some examples of modified nonbusiness income that are taxable to Ohio include: ● Capital gains or losses from the sale, exchange or transfer of real or tangible personal property; ● Rents and royalties from real or tangible personal property; ● Royalties from patents or copyrights; ● Lottery winnings and gains and/or losses from the sale or transfer of such winnings. ● Enter zero on lines 3 and 13; AND ● Include a copy of the acknowledgment from the Department that the trust is exempt from Ohio income tax. See R.C. 5747.01(EE). When is the Return Due? For all trusts and estates, the IT 1041, along with all supporting documentation such as IT K-1(s), W2s, 1099s and federal 1041 or federal 1040NR, is due by the date listed in the table below. If any filing due date set forth falls on a weekend or on a holiday, then the due date becomes the first business day thereafter. Filing Extensions If the trust or estate has a 12/31/2023 calendar year end, the entity can extend the due date for filing the IT 1041 to September 30, 2024, provided it qualifies for an IRS extension of time to file. Ohio does not have an extension request form but honors the IRS extension. Include a copy of the IRS extension or IRS acknowledgement, and/or the extension confirmation number, if electronically filed. If the trust or estate has a fiscal taxable year end, it will have a different extension due date. See the table below for extension due dates. An extension of time to file does not extend the time for payment of the tax due. The trust or estate must make extension payments with the required IT 1041 UPC available at the link Tax Forms, or by searching for “UPC” in the Form Title or Number field on the TAX FORMS page at tax.ohio.gov. Interest will accrue on any tax not paid by the due date, and penalties may also apply. If the trust or estate has a fiscal year end, please see the table below. Interest will accrue on any unpaid tax, and penalties may also apply. If your due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is moved to the next business day. Table 1: TY 2023 Due Dates and Extended Due Dates Fiscal Year Ends See R.C. 5747.01(AA) and 5747.02(A)(1). How should a Qualified Pre-Income Tax Trust complete the IT 1041? A trust that made the election to be a qualified preincome tax trust is not subject to Ohio income tax.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
