imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code and each tax | 91 |
imposed under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code shall be made by | 92 |
every taxpayer for any taxable year for which the taxpayer is | 93 |
liable for the tax imposed by that section or under that chapter, | 94 |
unless the total credits allowed under divisions (E), (F), and
(G) | 95 |
of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for the year are equal
to | 96 |
or exceed the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised
Code, | 97 |
in which case no return shall be required unless the
taxpayer is | 98 |
liable for a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 5748. of
the Revised | 99 |
Code. | 100 |
(D)(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in
division (D)(1)(b) | 113 |
of this section, any
pass-through entity
may file a single return | 114 |
on behalf of
one or more of the entity's investors other than an | 115 |
investor that is a
person subject
to the tax imposed under section | 116 |
5733.06 of the Revised Code. The single
return shall set forth
the | 117 |
name, address, and social security number
or other identifying | 118 |
number of each
of those
pass-through entity investors
and shall | 119 |
indicate the distributive
share of each of those
pass-through | 120 |
entity investor's income
taxable in this state
in accordance with | 121 |
sections 5747.20 to
5747.231 of the
Revised
Code. Such | 122 |
pass-through entity investors
for whom the pass-through entity | 123 |
elects to file a single return
are not entitled to the exemption | 124 |
or credit provided for by
sections 5747.02 and 5747.022 of the | 125 |
Revised
Code; shall calculate
the tax
before business credits at | 126 |
the highest rate of tax set
forth in
section 5747.02 of the | 127 |
Revised
Code for the taxable year
for
which the return is filed; | 128 |
and are entitled to only their
distributive share of the business | 129 |
credits as defined in
division
(D)(2) of this
section. A single | 130 |
check drawn by the pass-through
entity shall
accompany
the return | 131 |
in full payment of the tax due, as shown on the single return,
for | 132 |
such investors, other than investors who are persons
subject to | 133 |
the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the
Revised Code. | 134 |
(c) Nothing in division
(D) of this section precludes
the
tax | 145 |
commissioner from requiring such investors to file the
return
and | 146 |
make the payment of taxes and related interest,
penalty, and | 147 |
interest penalty required by this section or
section 5747.02, | 148 |
5747.09, or 5747.15 of the
Revised Code. Nothing in division
(D) | 149 |
of this section shall be
construed to provide to such an investor | 150 |
or pass-through entity
any additional deduction or credit, other | 151 |
than the credit
provided by division (J) of
this section, solely | 152 |
on account of the entity's filing a return
in accordance with this | 153 |
section. Such a pass-through entity also
shall make the filing
and | 154 |
payment of estimated taxes on behalf of the pass-through
entity | 155 |
investors other than an
investor that is a person subject
to the | 156 |
tax imposed under section 5733.06
of the Revised Code. | 157 |
(3) The election provided for under division
(D) of this | 185 |
section applies
only to the taxable year for which the election is | 186 |
made by the
pass-through entity. Unless the tax commissioner | 187 |
provides
otherwise, this election, once made, is binding and | 188 |
irrevocable
for the taxable year for which the election is made. | 189 |
Nothing in
this division shall be construed to provide for any | 190 |
deduction or
credit that would not be allowable if a nonresident | 191 |
pass-through
entity investor were to file an annual return. | 192 |
(4) If a pass-through entity makes the election provided
for | 193 |
under division (D) of this
section, the pass-through entity shall | 194 |
be liable for any
additional taxes, interest, interest penalty, or | 195 |
penalties imposed by this
chapter
if the tax
commissioner
finds | 196 |
that
the single return does
not reflect the
correct tax
due by
the | 197 |
pass-through
entity investors
covered by that
return. Nothing in | 198 |
this
division shall be
construed to limit or
alter the liability, | 199 |
if
any, imposed on
pass-through entity
investors for unpaid or | 200 |
underpaid taxes,
interest, interest
penalty, or penalties as a | 201 |
result of the
pass-through entity's
making the election provided | 202 |
for under
division (D) of this
section.
For the purposes of | 203 |
division
(D) of
this section,
"correct tax due" means the tax that | 204 |
would have been
paid by the
pass-through entity had the single | 205 |
return been filed
in a manner
reflecting
the tax
commissioner's | 206 |
findings. Nothing
in
division (D) of this section
shall be | 207 |
construed to make or hold
a
pass-through entity liable
for tax | 208 |
attributable to a
pass-through
entity investor's
income
from a | 209 |
source other than the
pass-through
entity electing
to file
the | 210 |
single return. | 211 |
(E) If a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax | 212 |
return for a taxable year, they shall file a joint return under | 213 |
this section for that taxable year, and their liabilities are | 214 |
joint and several, but, if the federal income tax liability of | 215 |
either spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax | 216 |
return, they shall file separate returns under this section. | 217 |
If either spouse is not required to file a federal income
tax | 218 |
return and either or both are required to file a return
pursuant | 219 |
to this chapter, they may elect to file separate or
joint returns, | 220 |
and, pursuant to that election, their liabilities are
separate or | 221 |
joint and several. If a husband and wife file
separate returns | 222 |
pursuant to this chapter, each must claim the taxpayer's
own | 223 |
exemption, but not both, as authorized under
section
5747.02 of | 224 |
the Revised Code on the taxpayer's own
return. | 225 |
(G) Each return or notice required to be filed under this | 234 |
section shall be made and filed as required by section 5747.04 of | 235 |
the Revised Code, on or before the fifteenth day of April of each | 236 |
year, on forms that the tax commissioner shall prescribe,
together | 237 |
with remittance made payable to the treasurer of state
in the | 238 |
combined amount of the state and all school district
income taxes | 239 |
shown to be due on the form, unless the combined amount
shown to | 240 |
be due is one dollar or less, in which case that amount
need not | 241 |
be remitted. | 242 |
Upon good cause shown, the tax commissioner may extend the | 243 |
period
for filing any notice or return required to be filed under | 244 |
this
section and may adopt rules relating to extensions. If the | 245 |
extension results in an extension of time for the payment of any | 246 |
state or school district income tax liability with respect to | 247 |
which the return is filed, the taxpayer shall pay at the time the | 248 |
tax liability is paid an amount of interest computed at the rate | 249 |
per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code on | 250 |
that liability from the time that payment is due without
extension | 251 |
to the time of actual payment. Except as
provided in section | 252 |
5747.132 of the Revised Code, in
addition to all
other interest | 253 |
charges and penalties, all taxes imposed under this chapter
or | 254 |
Chapter 5748. of the
Revised
Code and remaining
unpaid after they | 255 |
become due, except combined amounts due of one
dollar or less, | 256 |
bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by
section 5703.47 | 257 |
of the Revised Code until paid or until the day an
assessment is | 258 |
issued under section 5747.13 of the Revised Code, whichever
occurs | 259 |
first. | 260 |
(H) If any report, claim, statement, or other document | 269 |
required to be filed, or any payment required to be made, within
a | 270 |
prescribed period or on or before a prescribed date under this | 271 |
chapter is delivered after that period or that date by United | 272 |
States mail to the agency, officer, or office with which the | 273 |
report, claim,
statement, or other document is required to be | 274 |
filed, or to which the payment is required to be made, the date
of | 275 |
the postmark stamped on the cover in which the report, claim, | 276 |
statement, or other document, or payment is mailed shall be
deemed | 277 |
to be the date of delivery or the date of payment. | 278 |
(J) If, in accordance
with division (D) of this
section, a | 292 |
pass-through entity elects to file a single return
and if any | 293 |
investor is required to file the return and make the
payment of | 294 |
taxes required by this chapter on account of the
investor's other | 295 |
income that is not included in a single return
filed by a | 296 |
pass-through entity, the investor is entitled to a
refundable | 297 |
credit equal to the investor's proportionate share of
the tax paid | 298 |
by the pass-through entity on behalf of the
investor. The
investor | 299 |
shall claim the credit for the
investor's taxable year in
which or | 300 |
with which ends the taxable
year of the pass-through
entity. | 301 |
Nothing in this chapter shall
be construed to allow any
credit | 302 |
provided in this chapter to be
claimed more than once. For
the | 303 |
purposes of computing any
interest, penalty, or interest
penalty, | 304 |
the investor shall be
deemed to have paid the refundable
credit | 305 |
provided by this
division on the day that the pass-through
entity | 306 |
paid the
estimated tax or the tax giving rise to the
credit. | 307 |
Section 5. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency | 318 |
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public | 319 |
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity lies in | 320 |
the fact that immediate action is necessary to alleviate the | 321 |
income tax filing and payment burdens currently faced by members | 322 |
of the National Guard and reserve components of the United States | 323 |
armed forces who have been called to active duty. Therefore, this | 324 |
act shall go into immediate effect. | 325 |
