BE
IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section
1.
That
sections 5747.08 and 5747.98 be amended and section
5747.87

of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec.
5747.08.
An
annual return with respect to the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of
the Revised Code and each tax imposed under Chapter 5748. of the
Revised Code shall be made by every taxpayer for any taxable year for
which the taxpayer is liable for the tax imposed by that section or
under that chapter, unless the total credits allowed under division
(E) of section 5747.05 and divisions (F) and (G) of section 5747.055
of the Revised Code for the year are equal to or exceed the tax
imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code, in which case no
return shall be required unless the taxpayer is liable for a tax
imposed pursuant to Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code.

(A)
If an individual is deceased, any return or notice required of that
individual under this chapter shall be made and filed by that
decedent's executor, administrator, or other person charged with the
property of that decedent.

(B)
If an individual is unable to make a return or notice required by
this chapter, the return or notice required of that individual shall
be made and filed by the individual's duly authorized agent,
guardian, conservator, fiduciary, or other person charged with the
care of the person or property of that individual.

(C)
Returns or notices required of an estate or a trust shall be made and
filed by the fiduciary of the estate or trust.

(D)(1)(a)
Except as otherwise provided in division (D)(1)(b) of this section,
any pass-through entity may file a single return on behalf of one or
more of the entity's investors other than an investor that is a
person subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the
Revised Code. The single return shall set forth the name, address,
and social security number or other identifying number of each of
those pass-through entity investors and shall indicate the
distributive share of each of those pass-through entity investor's
income taxable in this state in accordance with sections 5747.20 to
5747.231 of the Revised Code. Such pass-through entity investors for
whom the pass-through entity elects to file a single return are not
entitled to the exemption or credit provided for by sections 5747.02
and 5747.022 of the Revised Code; shall calculate the tax before
business credits at the highest rate of tax set forth in section
5747.02 of the Revised Code for the taxable year for which the return
is filed; and are entitled to only their distributive share of the
business credits as defined in division (D)(2) of this section. A
single check drawn by the pass-through entity shall accompany the
return in full payment of the tax due, as shown on the single return,
for such investors, other than investors who are persons subject to
the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(b)(i)
A pass-through entity shall not include in such a single return any
investor that is a trust to the extent that any direct or indirect
current, future, or contingent beneficiary of the trust is a person
subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(ii)
A pass-through entity shall not include in such a single return any
investor that is itself a pass-through entity to the extent that any
direct or indirect investor in the second pass-through entity is a
person subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the
Revised Code.

(c)
Except as provided by division (L) of this section, nothing in
division (D) of this section precludes the tax commissioner from
requiring such investors to file the return and make the payment of
taxes and related interest, penalty, and interest penalty required by
this section or section 5747.02, 5747.09, or 5747.15 of the Revised
Code. Nothing in division (D) of this section precludes such an
investor from filing the annual return under this section, utilizing
the refundable credit equal to the investor's proportionate share of
the tax paid by the pass-through entity on behalf of the investor
under division (I) of this section, and making the payment of taxes
imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code. Nothing in
division (D) of this section shall be construed to provide to such an
investor or pass-through entity any additional deduction or credit,
other than the credit provided by division (I) of this section,
solely on account of the entity's filing a return in accordance with
this section. Such a pass-through entity also shall make the filing
and payment of estimated taxes on behalf of the pass-through entity
investors other than an investor that is a person subject to the tax
imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(2)
For the purposes of this section, "business credits" means
the credits listed in section 5747.98 of the Revised Code excluding
the following credits:

(a)
The retirement income credit under division (B) of section 5747.055
of the Revised Code;

(b)
The senior citizen credit under division (F) of section 5747.055 of
the Revised Code;

(c)
The lump sum distribution credit under division (G) of section
5747.055 of the Revised Code;

(d)
The dependent care credit under section 5747.054 of the Revised Code;

(e)
The lump sum retirement income credit under division (C) of section
5747.055 of the Revised Code;

(f)
The lump sum retirement income credit under division (D) of section
5747.055 of the Revised Code;

(g)
The lump sum retirement income credit under division (E) of section
5747.055 of the Revised Code;

(h)
The credit for displaced workers who pay for job training under
section 5747.27 of the Revised Code;

(i)
The twenty-dollar personal exemption credit under section 5747.022 of
the Revised Code;

(j)
The joint filing credit under division (E) of section 5747.05 of the
Revised Code;

(k)
The nonresident credit under division (A) of section 5747.05 of the
Revised Code;

(l)
The credit for a resident's out-of-state income under division (B) of
section 5747.05 of the Revised Code;

(m)
The earned income tax credit under section 5747.71 of the Revised
Code;

(n)
The lead abatement credit under section 5747.26 of the Revised Code;

(o)
The credit for education expenses under section 5747.72 of the
Revised Code;

(p)
The credit for tuition paid to a nonchartered nonpublic school under
section 5747.75 of the Revised Code
;

(q)
The credit for property taxes or rent-equivalent taxes paid under
section 5747.87 of the Revised Code
.

(3)
The election provided for under division (D) of this section applies
only to the taxable year for which the election is made by the
pass-through entity. Unless the tax commissioner provides otherwise,
this election, once made, is binding and irrevocable for the taxable
year for which the election is made. Nothing in this division shall
be construed to provide for any deduction or credit that would not be
allowable if a nonresident pass-through entity investor were to file
an annual return.

(4)
If a pass-through entity makes the election provided for under
division (D) of this section, the pass-through entity shall be liable
for any additional taxes, interest, interest penalty, or penalties
imposed by this chapter if the tax commissioner finds that the single
return does not reflect the correct tax due by the pass-through
entity investors covered by that return. Nothing in this division
shall be construed to limit or alter the liability, if any, imposed
on pass-through entity investors for unpaid or underpaid taxes,
interest, interest penalty, or penalties as a result of the
pass-through entity's making the election provided for under division
(D) of this section. For the purposes of division (D) of this
section, "correct tax due" means the tax that would have
been paid by the pass-through entity had the single return been filed
in a manner reflecting the commissioner's findings. Nothing in
division (D) of this section shall be construed to make or hold a
pass-through entity liable for tax attributable to a pass-through
entity investor's income from a source other than the pass-through
entity electing to file the single return.

(E)
If a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax return for a
taxable year, they shall file a joint return under this section for
that taxable year, and their liabilities are joint and several, but,
if the federal income tax liability of either spouse is determined on
a separate federal income tax return, they shall file separate
returns under this section.

If
either spouse is not required to file a federal income tax return and
either or both are required to file a return pursuant to this
chapter, they may elect to file separate or joint returns, and,
pursuant to that election, their liabilities are separate or joint
and several. If a husband and wife file separate returns pursuant to
this chapter, each must claim the taxpayer's own exemption, but not
both, as authorized under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code on the
taxpayer's own return.

(F)
Each return or notice required to be filed under this section shall
contain the signature of the taxpayer or the taxpayer's duly
authorized agent and of the person who prepared the return for the
taxpayer, and shall include the taxpayer's social security number.
Each return shall be verified by a declaration under the penalties of
perjury. The tax commissioner shall prescribe the form that the
signature and declaration shall take.

(G)
Each return or notice required to be filed under this section shall
be made and filed as required by section 5747.04 of the Revised Code,
on or before the fifteenth day of April of each year, on forms that
the tax commissioner shall prescribe, together with remittance made
payable to the treasurer of state in the combined amount of the state
and all school district income taxes shown to be due on the form.

Upon
good cause shown, the commissioner may extend the period for filing
any notice or return required to be filed under this section and may
adopt rules relating to extensions. If the extension results in an
extension of time for the payment of any state or school district
income tax liability with respect to which the return is filed, the
taxpayer shall pay at the time the tax liability is paid an amount of
interest computed at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47
of the Revised Code on that liability from the time that payment is
due without extension to the time of actual payment. Except as
provided in section 5747.132 of the Revised Code, in addition to all
other interest charges and penalties, all taxes imposed under this
chapter or Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code and remaining unpaid
after they become due, except combined amounts due of one dollar or
less, bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by section
5703.47 of the Revised Code until paid or until the day an assessment
is issued under section 5747.13 of the Revised Code, whichever occurs
first.

If
the commissioner considers it necessary in order to ensure the
payment of the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code or
any tax imposed under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code, the
commissioner may require returns and payments to be made otherwise
than as provided in this section.

To
the extent that any provision in this division conflicts with any
provision in section 5747.026 of the Revised Code, the provision in
that section prevails.

(H)
The amounts withheld pursuant to section 5747.06, 5747.062, 5747.063,
5747.064, 5747.065, or 5747.071 of the Revised Code shall be allowed
to the ultimate recipient of the income as credits against payment of
the appropriate taxes imposed on the ultimate recipient by section
5747.02 and under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code. As used in this
division, "ultimate recipient" means the person who is
required to report income from which amounts are withheld pursuant to
section 5747.06, 5747.062, 5747.063, 5747.064, 5747.065, or 5747.071
of the Revised Code on the annual return required to be filed under
this section.

(I)
If a pass-through entity elects to file a single return under
division (D) of this section and if any investor is required to file
the annual return and make the payment of taxes required by this
chapter on account of the investor's other income that is not
included in a single return filed by a pass-through entity or any
other investor elects to file the annual return, the investor is
entitled to a refundable credit equal to the investor's proportionate
share of the tax paid by the pass-through entity on behalf of the
investor. The investor shall claim the credit for the investor's
taxable year in which or with which ends the taxable year of the
pass-through entity. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to
allow any credit provided in this chapter to be claimed more than
once. For the purpose of computing any interest, penalty, or interest
penalty, the investor shall be deemed to have paid the refundable
credit provided by this division on the day that the pass-through
entity paid the estimated tax or the tax giving rise to the credit.

(J)
The tax commissioner shall ensure that each return required to be
filed under this section includes a box that the taxpayer may check
to authorize a paid tax preparer who prepared the return to
communicate with the department of taxation about matters pertaining
to the return. The return or instructions accompanying the return
shall indicate that by checking the box the taxpayer authorizes the
department of taxation to contact the preparer concerning questions
that arise during the processing of the return and authorizes the
preparer only to provide the department with information that is
missing from the return, to contact the department for information
about the processing of the return or the status of the taxpayer's
refund or payments, and to respond to notices about mathematical
errors, offsets, or return preparation that the taxpayer has received
from the department and has shown to the preparer.

(K)
The tax commissioner shall permit individual taxpayers to instruct
the department of taxation to cause any refund of overpaid taxes to
be deposited directly into a checking account, savings account, or an
individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity, or
preexisting college savings plan or program account offered by the
Ohio tuition trust authority under Chapter 3334. of the Revised Code,
as designated by the taxpayer, when the taxpayer files the annual
return required by this section electronically.

(L)
If, for the taxable year, a nonresident or trust that is the owner of
an electing pass-through entity, as defined in section 5747.38 of the
Revised Code, does not have Ohio adjusted gross income or, in the
case of a trust, modified Ohio taxable income other than from one or
more electing pass-through entities, the nonresident or trust shall
not be required to file an annual return under this section. Nothing
in this division precludes such an owner from filing the annual
return under this section, utilizing the refundable credit under
section 5747.39 of the Revised Code equal to the owner's
proportionate share of the tax levied under section 5747.38 of the
Revised Code and paid by the electing pass-through entity, and making
the payment of taxes imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised
Code.

(M)
The tax commissioner may adopt rules to administer this section.

(D)
For eligible claimants required to file an annual return under this

required under section 5747.98 of the Revised Code. If the amount of
the credit under this section exceeds the aggregate amount of tax
otherwise due under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code after

Except as provided in division (E)(2) of this section, such eligible
claimants shall apply for the rebate on that form after the first day
of January following the end of the claim year but before the
fifteenth day of the fourth month following the end of that claim
year.

(2)
An eligible claimant may request an extension of the time to file a
rebate application under division (E)(1) of this section, on a form
prescribed by the commissioner. Upon receipt of such a request, the
commissioner shall extend the due date for filing the application to
the fifteenth day of the tenth month after the last day of the claim

The credit or rebate authorized under this section shall be allowed
to only one eligible claimant per homestead.

(2)
Only the lessee shall claim a credit or rebate with respect to
property that is rented or leased as a homestead.

(G)
For the first claim year ending on or after the effective date of
this section, an individual qualifies as an eligible claimant only if
the individual's total household resources do not exceed one hundred
thousand dollars. For each following claim year, the tax commissioner
shall adjust this total household resources limit and the household
resources tiers and credit or rebate limits described in division (C)
of this section by completing the following calculations in September
of each year:

(1)
Determine the percentage increase in the gross domestic product
deflator determined by the bureau of economic analysis of the United
States department of commerce from the first day of January of the
preceding year to the last day of December of the preceding year;

(2)
Multiply that percentage increase by the total household resources
limit, household resources tiers, and credit or rebate limits for the
current year;

(3)
Add the resulting products to the respective tiers and limits for the
current year;

(4)
Round the resulting sums to the nearest multiple of one thousand
dollars, in the case of the total household resources limit and
tiers, or nearest multiple of ten dollars, in the case of the credit
or rebate limits.

The
adjusted amounts apply to claim years beginning in the calendar year
in which the adjustment is made and to claim years beginning in each
ensuing calendar year until a calendar year in which a new adjustment
is made pursuant to this division. The commissioner shall not make a
new adjustment in any calendar year in which the amount resulting
from the adjustment would be less than the amount resulting from the
adjustment in the preceding calendar year.

(H)
If a credit or rebate allowed under this section was based on an
amount of property tax due that differs from the actual amount of
such taxes paid by the eligible claimant for the tax year ending in
that claim year, the eligible claimant shall file an annual return or
application under division (E) of this section for the ensuing claim
year that reports the difference. The claimant shall adjust the
credit or rebate claimed for the ensuing year by the amount of the
difference. If the claimant is not eligible for the credit or rebate
for the ensuing claim year, the claimant shall pay or may request
payment of the difference, as applicable.

(I)
On or before the first day of November of each year, the tax
commissioner shall determine and publish a home value limit and rent
limit. The limits shall apply to claim years beginning in the
calendar year in which the limits are determined.
