Filing Tips
When amending due to changes to my federal return, should I le my amended Ohio return(s) at the same time I le my
amended federal return with the IRS?
Refund: You should wait to le your amended Ohio IT 1040 and/or SD 100 until the IRS has approved the changes to your amended
federal return. When ling your amended returns, you must include:
Option #1
• A copy of your federal amended return (1040X), AND
• A copy of the IRS acceptance letter -or- refund check.
Option #2
• A copy of your updated IRS tax account transcript
reecting the changes to your federal return.
Tax Due: To reduce the amount of interest you will owe, you should le your amended Ohio IT 1040 and pay any tax due as soon as
possible.
What documentation should I include when amending to show a change in my Ohio residency status?
Submit any and all relevant information you believe supports your change in residency status from one state to another. Provide as
many relevant documents as possible. Relevant documents include, but are not limited to, the following: property records (mortgage
statements, lease agreements, etc.), driver's licenses or state IDs, voter registration, resident state tax returns, armed services records
and utility bills.
When should I NOT le an amended return?
Some common mistakes may not require an amended return. Instead, the Department of Taxation will either make the corrections or
contact you to request documentation. For example, the following mistakes generally do not require an amended return:
• Math errors;
• Missing return pages, schedules, or worksheets;
• Unclaimed withholding;**
• Missing credit certicate granted by the Ohio Department
of Development.
*Generally, unclaimed estimated and/or extension payments will automatically be added to your original return when led.
**If you have unclaimed withholding, please submit a detailed explanation along with legible copies of all income statements (W-2s and
1099s) showing the Ohio withholding amounts instead of ling an amended return.

corrections);
• Unclaimed estimated and/or extension payments;*
