IT 4738
Rev. 1/23
NEW FOR 2022 TAXABLE YEAR
Senate Bill 246 was passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor DeWine.The bill added section R.C. 5747.38, which
allows a qualifying pass-through entity (PTE) to “elect” to be subject to this new entity-level tax. The Department has developed a new
PTE tax form (IT 4738) for taxable year 2022, instructions, FAQs and related information.
Facts to know when the entity elects to file the IT 4738:
● The election is made by the entity and is binding on all owners of the entity.
● All owners’ qualifying taxable income is required to be included if the entity makes this election.
● The election is irrevocable for the taxable year.
● A disregarded entity may NOT make this election.
● Election is made known to the Department by filing the IT 4738.
● Tax rate is 5% for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2022, and for taxable years beginning January 1, 2023, the rate is equal
to the tax rate imposed on taxable business income under RC 5747.02 (A)(4)(a)(currently 3%).
● No refundable or nonrefundable business credits can be claimed on the IT 4738.
● Due date is April 15th of the calendar year after the year in which entity’s fiscal year ends. For taxable year 2022, the due date will
be April 18, 2023.
● Estimated payments are due on the same dates as the IT 1140 estimated payments (15th day of the month after the end of each
quarter).
● Filing the IT 4738 meets Ohio filing requirements for the entity’s non-resident & trust investors unless they have other Ohio
sourced income.
● Owners who file an Ohio individual income tax return, IT 1040, must add back the tax amounts paid on the IT 4738 to the extent
not included in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income using the Ohio Schedule of Adjustments, line 2.
● A refundable credit for the proportionate share of the tax paid on the IT 4738 is available for owners who file an IT 1040 using the
Ohio Schedule of Credits, Pass-through entity credit line.
● For taxable years that begin during calendar year 2022, the Department will not impose the 2210 interest penalty for failure to
make, or paid late, estimated payments.
No estimated payment coupon (UPC) is available for the IT 4738 until after 1/18/2023. If you have made, or need to make,
estimated payments before that date, the Department recommends using the IT 1140 UPC.
Line 12 below on the new IT 4738 is where the entity reports any 2022 estimated payments made on an IT 1140 or IT 4708 UPC
that the entity wants transferred to the IT 4738.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): EPayments 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.
Each tax form requires the applicable TOS routing/account numbers and distinct codes/format the financial institution must use to

4738-specific instructions after 1/18/23: A link to the instructions will be available at tax.ohio.gov on the PTE Payments webpage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) are posted to the Department’s website tax.ohio.gov for electing PTEs. The Department will
continue to add FAQs as new information and guidance is finalized. For further updates, please continue to monitor our web site at

New for 2022 Taxable Year Continued
What type of return should the PTE file?
A PTE must file an Ohio return to report and pay tax either at the entity level or on behalf of its nonresident individual, trust, estate and PTE
investors. The PTE can elect to file the IT 4738, IT 4708 or the IT 1140. A PTE that changes form types from year to year must ensure all
taxable year periods of income are reported and all related tax is timely and fully paid.
NOTE: If a PTE elects to file the IT 4738, all owners must be included. Once the IT 4738 is filed for any given taxable year, the PTE is not
permitted to amend this return to change to an IT 1140 or IT 4708.
See RC 5747.38(C)
For more information regarding which form to file, see the following chart, or search the PTE FAQs at tax.ohio.gov. See tax.ohio.gov/

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 4738 and Universal Payment Coupons (UPCs) are for the Correct Tax Year
The Department releases new forms and UPCs each taxable year. Do NOT cross out the year at the top of the IT 4738 or UPC and
write in a new one, as doing so will delay the processing of the IT 4738 or UPC. A PTE with taxable year year ending December 31,
2022 would file the 2022 IT 4738. The UPC for the IT 4738 will be available for first quarter estimated payments due 4/18/2023.
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 4738 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 Only UPC or Treasurer of State Payments on Lines 11, 12 and 13
Incorrect reporting of PTE credits on lines 11, 12 and 13 may result in a denied/reduced refund or bill. If the entity receives an
IT K-1 reporting a PTE credit from another entity on its behalf, do not report these as estimated payments. Refundable and
nonrefundable business credits are disallowed on the IT 4738.
Provide Supporting Documents
Attach the appropriate documentation specified on the IT 4738 to validate the amounts reported, such as IT K-1s to verify income/
withholding flowing from another PTE to the PTE filer, and from the PTE filer to an owner.

Payment Options
First-Time Filers: Submit PTE Registration Form Before First Estimated Payment
If the PTE is a first-time filer of any of the three form types, 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 Due Amount
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 4738);
● 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): EPayments 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:

payment instructions.
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
NOTE: The TOS no longer requires PTE and fiduciary filers to submit an EFT authorization form to register before making an
IT 4738, IT 4708, 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.
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.

Payment Options Continued
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 Tax Forms field by entering “UPC” in the Form Title or Number field.
The IT 4738 UPC is used to make either an estimated payment (IT 4738ES) or a payment submitted with the return (IT 4738P). When
completing the UPC:
● Enter the reporting period start date and end date in the format mm-dd-yy;
● Select either the IT 4738ES or IT 4738P;
● Enter the correct 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 4738 UPC: This form must be included with each check or money order.
Include a Check or Money Order with each IT 4738 UPC
Payable to “Ohio Treasurer of State” with identifying information on the memo line, including:
● Federal employer identification number ( FEIN),
● Tax form using the payment (IT 4738);
● Taxable year end date for the payment (mm-dd-yy).
