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 4708 and UPCs are for the Correct Tax Year
The Department releases new forms and UPCs each tax year. Do NOT cross out the year at the top of the IT 4708 or UPC and
write in a new one, as doing so will delay the processing of the IT 4708 or UPC. A PTE with tax year ending during calendar year
2022 must file the 2022 IT 4708.
Maintain a Bank Account
The Department cannot change the name on a refund check, or issue the check directly to an investor, due to the closing or
termination of a business.
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. Instead, 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 IT 4708 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 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.
Enter Estimated Payments and Credits on Correct Lines
Incorrect reporting of the payments and credits may result in a denied/reduced refund or bill. If the entity receives an IT K-1
reporting a PTE payment or credit from another entity on its behalf, do not report these as estimated payments.
Report refundable business credits on Line 19 of Schedule I and on Schedule V – Refundable Business Credits ONLY. Do not
claim nonrefundable credits on this schedule. Instead, claim nonrefundable credits on Schedule E and Line 11.
Report nonrefundable business credits on Line 11 of Schedule I – Taxable Income, Tax, Payments and Net Amount Due
Calculations ONLY. You must include a copy of Schedule E – Schedule of Nonrefundable Business Credits, and include copies
of the required certificates. Do not use Schedule E to claim refundable credits. Instead, claim refundable credits on Line 19 of
Schedule 1.
Provide Supporting Documents
Attach the appropriate documentation specified on the IT 4708 to validate the amounts reported, such as IT K-1s to verify income/
withholding flowing from another PTE to the filer, and from the filer to an investor, copies of required certificates issued for
nonrefundable credits, and any other documents providing clarification.
Report the Proportionate Share of Income and Credits
A PTE is only permitted to claim the portion of credits belonging to the investors whose income is reported on the IT 4708 return.
Example: Four individuals each own 25% of Entity B. Two of the individuals are Ohio residents (i.e., non-qualifying investors) and
two are nonresidents of Ohio (i.e., qualifying investors). Entity B owns 100% of Entity A. Entity A pays $1,000 in Ohio pass-through
entity tax.
Entity B files an IT 4708, but only includes the nonresident investors and their share of the PTE’s income on the return (50% of the
total). While Entity B can claim taxes paid by Entity A as a credit on its IT 4708, it is limited to claiming only the portion of the credit
belonging to the investors included on the return of $500 (50% of $1,000). The resident investors should claim their share of the
credit ($250 each) when they file their Ohio IT 1040 returns.

Rev. 12/22
Payment Options
First-Time Filers: Submit PTE Registration Form Before First Estimated Payment
If the PTE 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 identify-
ing information on the memo line, including:
● Federal employer identification number (FEIN),
● Tax form using the payment (IT 4708);
● 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 pay-
ment will be misdirected, causing a delay in processing the estimated payment(s), resulting in a billing notice or refund delay.
Please contact the third-party 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 instructions unavailable, as of publishing. Use IT 1140
payment instructions.
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.
3. 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 2) check or money order, as listed above.
For a current list of approved software programs, please see the Software Developers page on the Ohio Department of Taxa-
tion 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). Appli-
cation 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 in the Tax Forms field by entering “UPC” in the Form Title or Number field.
The IT 4708 UPC is used by PTE to make either an estimated payment (IT 4708ES) or a payment submitted with the return (IT 4708P).
When completing the UPC:
● Enter the reporting period start date and end date in the format mm-dd-yy;
● Select either the IT 4708ES or IT 4708P;

Appendix A
Investment Pass-Through Entities (IPTE)
What is an IPTE?
An IPTE is a PTE that meets both of the following:
● 90% of its gross income from intangible sources, which may include the following: loan and financing fees, dividend income,
interest income, net capital gains from the sale or exchange of intangible property and distributive share of income from other
PTEs (list is not all inclusive)
● 90% of its net book value classified as intangible assets
The percentages are based upon quarterly averages calculated during the PTE’s tax year.
For additional types of intangible income and more information, see R.C. 5733.401.
What are the benefits of being an IPTE?
An IPTE can exclude from its adjusted qualifying amount certain investment income and income it receives from other PTEs,
such as all types and classifications of income from an investment pass-through entity (IPTE) attributable to the distributive
shares of income from other PTEs and certain other net income items.
See R.C. 5733.401
How should an IPTE file?
An IPTE can file the IT 1140, IT 4708 or IT 4738. The IT 1140 or IT 4738 shows the flow of income and indirect credits to the entity’s
investors/owners, while the IT 4708 may allow the IPTE to request a refund.
How Should an IPTE File the IT 4708?
To receive a refund of refundable business credits including payments made by another PTE (refundable PTE credit), the
PTE should file the IT 4708. The return should include only the income and credits in proportion to those investors included on
the return.
To verify the income and credits of the investor(s) an IPTE should complete the return as follows:
● Report income received by the IPTE on line 1 and the deductions on line 2 (complete Schedules II and III to populate lines 1
and 2);
● Deduct certain investment income, described in R.C. 5733.401(C), not subject to tax because the PTE is an IPTE on line 4;
● Use line 8 to proportionately allocate the income to Ohio;
● Any income and credits will be distributed proportionately to the qualifying investors directly on line 3 of the IT K-1; any
overpayment is refunded to the entity.
Please attach the following:
● A copy of the federal return;
● An IT K-1 for each investor that shows the proportionate share of the income and credits being passed to the IPTE’s investors
from another PTE. Direct credits should be listed on line 3 of the IT K-1;
● The IT K-1(s), federal K-1(s) and/or other supporting documentation and statements showing the source of income and credits
from each PTE included on the IPTE’s return.
See R.C. 5747.221
