A Message From the Ohio Tax Commissioner
Dear Ohio Taxpayers,
Ohio is continuing to make progress. Although there is still more work to be done, our economy is getting stronger,
more people are working, and that momentum is affording more opportunities to cut income taxes.
Last year, Ohio had one of the largest tax cuts in the nation. This year it’s a pleasure to inform you that most individuals
and small business taxpayers will benefi t from additional tax reductions. For individuals, a 1% cut that was to take
effect Jan. 1, 2015, was moved up, giving Ohio taxpayers a full 10% income tax cut in 2014. That cut was being
phased in over three years, but is now occurring in two years. In addition, a tax deduction implemented last year to
help strengthen and grow small businesses has been increased from 50% to 75% on the fi rst $250,000 of net business
income for taxable year 2014.
Ohio is also providing additional tax relief for lower- and middle-income taxpayers. The earned income tax credit is
doubling from 5% to 10% of the federal credit, and the personal exemption has increased for Ohioans earning less
than $40,000 a year from $1,700 to $2,200, and for those with incomes between $40,000 and $80,000 a year from
$1,700 to $1,950.
This year, if you aren’t already planning to fi le online, please consider the benefi ts of fi ling electronically. Refunds are
issued faster, errors are reduced, and processing costs are cut signifi cantly. We’ve also made it easier to track your
refund anytime, from any device, with our new mobile app. The Ohio Tax App is available for download through Apple
or Google Play. Overall, we are committed to adopting technology that helps us improve customer service, reduce
costs and make the state tax system more user-friendly.
We expect that this publication will give you all you need to successfully and easily prepare and fi le your return.
However, if you still have questions, please visit our Web site at tax.ohio.gov or call 1-800-282-1780 for personal
taxpayer assistance. The department also maintains a 24-hour refund hotline at 1-800-282-1784 and a forms request
line at 1-800-282-1782.
Together, with your help, we will keep making Ohio a better place to live and work.
Sincerely,
Joe Testa
Ohio Tax Commissioner
