If you were approved for a federal tax extension, then the State of Ohio will automatically grant you a six month tax extension. If you need to make a tax payment, you'll need to submit Ohio Form IT 40P (PDF). Attach a copy of your federal extension form (IRS 4868) to you state tax return when filed.

Filing for an Ohio tax extension does not grant you extra time to pay any tax balance due. Your balance must be paid by April 15 to avoid possible penalties.

If you already received an approval notification from ExpressExtension, and you don't need to make a tax payment, then you're all done.

The State of Ohio will automatically grant your business a 6 month tax extension (5 months for partnerships and LLCs) if it is approved for a federal tax extension. If, however, you need to make a state tax payment then you need to submit Ohio tax payment voucher.

If your business does not need to make a tax payment and has received an approval notification from ExpressExtension, there’s nothing more to do.

Ohio does not offer state tax extensions if a federal extension was not granted. Be sure to attach a copy of your federal extension form (IRS 7004) to you state tax return when filed.

Filing for an Ohio tax extension will not provide your business with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by your original filing deadline or interest and other payment penalties may apply.
