This requirement applies to all withholding tax returns that are filed and paid on or after January 1, 2015.

Please note that any employer required to file and pay employer withholding tax returns electronically may apply to the tax commissioner to be excused from the requirement. The request must be made using the Ohio form WT OOR.
