Ohio's Tax Amnesty Program
The State of Ohio has announced a limited-time tax amnesty program. This program, which runs January 1st through February 15, 2018, allows delinquent

taxpayers the opportunity to pay qualifying unreported or under-reported taxes. Qualifying taxes include due and payable amounts as of May 1, 2017. As such, the Ohio Department of Taxation is authorized to forgive 100% of any penalties and half of the interest that typically would be assessed on these tax liabilities.
The amnesty program includes the following Ohio taxes:
Use Tax
Sales Tax
Commercial Activity Taxes
Employer Withholding Tax
Employer Withholding for School District Income Tax
Individual Income Tax
School District Income Tax
Pass-through Entity Tax
Financial Institutions Tax
Cigarette and other tobacco products Taxes
Alcohol Beverage Taxes
