                                                       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 on tax.ohio.gov to change the address.

Verify the IT 1140 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 1140 or UPC and write in 
a new one, as doing so will delay the processing of the IT 1140 or UPC. A PTE or trust that has a tax year starting during calendar year 
2022 must file the 2022 IT 1140.

Maintain a Bank Account
The PTE or trust 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, or issue the check directly to an investor, due to the closing or termination of a business or trust.

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 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 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.

Report Estimated Payments on Correct Lines
Incorrect reporting of the payments may result in a denied/reduced refund or bill. If the entity receives an IT K-1 reporting a PTE tax pay-
ment or credit from another entity on its behalf, the credit is not permitted on the IT 1140 and should not be placed on a payment line.  See 
Investor Information below for details on passing credits proportionately to investors.

Report estimated payments as follows:
 Line 3: Enter estimated payments made with an IT 1140 UPC or EFT payments made through the Ohio Treasurer of State for this tax 
 year that the PTE or trust wants applied to this 1140;
 Line 3a: Enter the portion of estimated payments made with an IT 4708 UPC or an IT 4738 UPC for this tax year that the PTE or trust 
 wants applied to this IT 1140;
 Line 3b: Enter either or both of the following: 
 Estimated  payments made with an IT 1140 UPC for this tax year that the entity or trust wants applied to an IT 4708 filed for the 
    same tax year; AND/OR
  [Amended Return ONLY] Estimated payment amount from line 3b plus the refund amount from line 5 received from the original 
    return filed for this tax year.

Provide Supporting Documentation:
Attach the appropriate documentation specified on the IT 1140 to validate the amounts reported, such as IT K-1s to verify income/
withholding credits flowing from another PTE indirectly to the filer, and from the filer to an investor, and any other documents providing 
clarification.

                                                    Payment Options
First-Time Filers: Submit PTE Registration Form Before First Estimated Payment
If the PTE or trust 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 registra-
tion 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 1140);
  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 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).  Ap-
plication 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 Forms Search field by entering “UPC” in the Form Title or Number field.
The IT 1140 UPC is used by PTE’s and trusts to make either an estimated payment (IT 1140ES) or a payment submitted with the return 
(IT 1140P). When completing the UPC:
Indicate the reporting period by providing the filing period start date and end date in the format mm-dd-yy;
Specify the appropriate payment type (IT 1140ES or IT 1140P);
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”;

Sample IT 1140 UPC: This form must be included with each check or money order.

Include a Check or Money Order with each IT 1140 UPC

  Appendix A - Investment Pass-Through Entities (IPTEs) - Deemed Investor
The following example shows how a PTE can benefit from the “deemed investor” rule. The ‘deemed investor” rule will allow a pass-
through entity the option to “look through” one of their select IPTE investors that has individual investors and pay at 5% tax withholding 
rate instead of 8.5% tax withholding rate for that select PTE investor.
PTE A has operating income. PTE B is an IPTE that owns 100% of PTE A. PTE B is owned by Jane (40%), Dave (40%) and PTE C (20%).
Normally, PTE A would withhold for PTE B on its income at a rate of 8.5%. However, since PTE B is an IPTE, PTE A can withhold for 
PTE B on behalf of Dave and Jane at the individual rate of 5%, and withhold for PTE C at the entity rate of 8.5%.
How the deemed investor rule works:
PTE B:
 Must timely notify PTE A of this election and provide the name, address, 
and SSN for both Dave and Jane to support the deemed investor provision.;
PTE A:
 Will withhold at the 5% (individual) rate for the proportionate share of 
income for Jane and Dave passing through PTE B; AND 
 Will withhold at the 8.5% (entity) rate for the proportionate share of income 
for PTE C passing through PTE B. 
When PTE A has both individuals and PTEs and files using the Deemed Investor rule, 
PTE A should provide a statement when it files the  IT 1140 return, which explains the 
Deemed Investor income and credits to PTE B. 
The Department recommends that PTE B file an Ohio PTE return reporting the indirect
 income included on the IT K-1s it issues to its investors.
  Appendix B - Filing an Ohio IT 1140 for an IPTE
The Department reviews and verifies PTE credits claimed by a taxpayer on a tax return. Credits are verified back to the initial source, 
the operating PTE. When the IPTE has several layers of investors, the inability to verify where the credit originated could result in:
 Billing for non-payment
 Reduced refunds
 Requesting information for a full review by a Tax Examiner
Every entity must document all credits and income being claimed and passed through to another entity or individual. Documentation
can include any of the following:
 IT K-1s issued to the PTE listing all investment sources along with the initial source of income and credits (the operating entity);
 An organization chart, including FEINs of all PTEs in the organization; include the initial source of income and credits (the operating 
 entity); AND
 A narrative outlining the flow of income and credits. 
Although not required, an IPTE may elect to file an IT 1140 to provide more clear and precise information to the Department for verifying 
the flow of income and credits. 
To file the IT 1140 as an IPTE:
1. Include on line 9 of the IT 1140, the combined total of all qualifying investor’s distributive shares of income, gain, expenses, and losses
2. Include on line 10 IRC §168(k) bonus depreciation and §179 expense add-back for the current reporting period 
3. Include on line 11:
  a. IRC §168(k) bonus depreciation and §179 expense incurred for the current reporting period
  b. Applicable federal conformity adjustments for the IPTE.
  c. The non-qualifying amount from the underlying IPTEs or operating companies.
4. Subtract line 11 from line 9 and report on line 12. This will determine the amount of taxable income to be apportioned. If the sole 
  source of income to the IPTE is distributive shares of income from other PTEs, then the net result is no adjusted qualifying amount, 
  resulting in zero income to be taxed.
5. The IPTE should include the proportionate share of all indirect income and credits on the IT K-1s issued to its investors.
NOTE: IT K-1s issued to the PTE cannot be used as a credit or payment on the IT 1140 and should list all investment sources along 
with the initial source of income and credits (the operating entity). The entire amount of the indirect credit must be distributed to the 
qualifying investors by their proportionate share showing on the IT K-1 line 4.
Include the federal return, and all IT K-1s it received from other PTEs in which it holds an ownership interest, showing the income
and credits flowing to it.
Clear representation of the chain of ownership reduces the occurrence of Department notices and inquiries.
See R.C. 5733.401.

  Appendix C – PTE with IT K-1 Income
The PTE credit received from the underlying PTE must not be applied as a credit or payment on the IT 1140 return. The entire amount 
of credit must be distributed to the qualifying investors based on ownership percentage / distributive share in the PTE. This share of the 
credit is reported on the investors’ IT K-1, line 4. 

NOTE: If all investors are not included on the IT 1140, use only the portion of income and credits of the investors who are included on 
the return.
To calculate Ohio taxable income for a PTE that received an IT K-1:
  1. Include on line 9 of the IT 1140, the combined total of all qualifying investor’s distributive shares of income, gain, expense, and loss
  2. Include on line 10 IRC §168(k) bonus depreciation and §179 expense add-back for the current reporting period
  3. Include on line 11:
     a. IRC §168(k) bonus depreciation and §179 expense deduction incurred for the current reporting period
     b. Applicable federal conformity adjustments for the IPTE.
  4. Add lines 9 and 10 and subtract line 11. Report on line 12.
  5. Include on lines 13-15 – Related member, guaranteed payments or compensation add-backs.
  6. Add lines 12-15 - This will determine the amount of taxable income to be apportioned.
  7. Combine all apportionment ratios from all PTEs, to arrive at the aggregate amount of apportionment. 
  8. Calculate tax due:
     a. Line 16 multiplied by the aggregate apportionment ratio.
  2. This tax will be owed by the PTE that received the IT K-1 from the underlying entity.
3. Report the calculated tax on the IT K1s as a direct credit on line 3.
4. Calculate the total indirect credits from the underlying PTEs and report on the IT K-1s as indirect on line 4.
