| To amend sections 5747.08 and 5747.98 and to enact | 1 |
| section 5747.71 of the Revised Code to allow a | 2 |
| refundable credit against the personal income tax | 3 |
| for taxpayers who teach in and reside in a big | 4 |
| eight school district and to allow an additional | 5 |
| credit for such teachers who teach math, science, | 6 |
| or technology. | 7 |
| Section 1. That sections 5747.08 and 5747.98 be amended and | 8 |
| section 5747.71 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows: | 9 |
| Sec. 5747.08. An annual return with respect to the tax | 10 |
| imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code and each tax | 11 |
| imposed under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code shall be made by | 12 |
| every taxpayer for any taxable year for which the taxpayer is | 13 |
| liable for the tax imposed by that section or under that chapter, | 14 |
| unless the total credits allowed under divisions (E), (F), and (G) | 15 |
| of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for the year are equal to | 16 |
| or exceed the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code, | 17 |
| in which case no return shall be required unless the taxpayer is | 18 |
| liable for a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 5748. of the Revised | 19 |
| Code. | 20 |
| (A) If an individual is deceased, any return or notice | 21 |
| required of that individual under this chapter shall be made and | 22 |
| filed by that decedent's executor, administrator, or other person | 23 |
| charged with the property of that decedent. | 24 |
| (B) If an individual is unable to make a return or notice | 25 |
| required by this chapter, the return or notice required of that | 26 |
| individual shall be made and filed by the individual's duly | 27 |
| authorized agent, guardian, conservator, fiduciary, or other | 28 |
| person charged with the care of the person or property of that | 29 |
| individual. | 30 |
| (C) Returns or notices required of an estate or a trust shall | 31 |
| be made and filed by the fiduciary of the estate or trust. | 32 |
| (D)(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in division (D)(1)(b) | 33 |
| of this section, any pass-through entity may file a single return | 34 |
| on behalf of one or more of the entity's investors other than an | 35 |
| investor that is a person subject to the tax imposed under section | 36 |
| 5733.06 of the Revised Code. The single return shall set forth the | 37 |
| name, address, and social security number or other identifying | 38 |
| number of each of those pass-through entity investors and shall | 39 |
| indicate the distributive share of each of those pass-through | 40 |
| entity investor's income taxable in this state in accordance with | 41 |
| sections 5747.20 to 5747.231 of the Revised Code. Such | 42 |
| pass-through entity investors for whom the pass-through entity | 43 |
| elects to file a single return are not entitled to the exemption | 44 |
| or credit provided for by sections 5747.02 and 5747.022 of the | 45 |
| Revised Code; shall calculate the tax before business credits at | 46 |
| the highest rate of tax set forth in section 5747.02 of the | 47 |
| Revised Code for the taxable year for which the return is filed; | 48 |
| and are entitled to only their distributive share of the business | 49 |
| credits as defined in division (D)(2) of this section. A single | 50 |
| check drawn by the pass-through entity shall accompany the return | 51 |
| in full payment of the tax due, as shown on the single return, for | 52 |
| such investors, other than investors who are persons subject to | 53 |
| the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. | 54 |
| (b)(i) A pass-through entity shall not include in such a | 55 |
| single return any investor that is a trust to the extent that any | 56 |
| direct or indirect current, future, or contingent beneficiary of | 57 |
| the trust is a person subject to the tax imposed under section | 58 |
| 5733.06 of the Revised Code. | 59 |
| (ii) A pass-through entity shall not include in such a single | 60 |
| return any investor that is itself a pass-through entity to the | 61 |
| extent that any direct or indirect investor in the second | 62 |
| pass-through entity is a person subject to the tax imposed under | 63 |
| section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. | 64 |
| (c) Nothing in division (D) of this section precludes the tax | 65 |
| commissioner from requiring such investors to file the return and | 66 |
| make the payment of taxes and related interest, penalty, and | 67 |
| interest penalty required by this section or section 5747.02, | 68 |
| 5747.09, or 5747.15 of the Revised Code. Nothing in division (D) | 69 |
| of this section shall be construed to provide to such an investor | 70 |
| or pass-through entity any additional deduction or credit, other | 71 |
| than the credit provided by division (J) of this section, solely | 72 |
| on account of the entity's filing a return in accordance with this | 73 |
| section. Such a pass-through entity also shall make the filing and | 74 |
| payment of estimated taxes on behalf of the pass-through entity | 75 |
| investors other than an investor that is a person subject to the | 76 |
| tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. | 77 |
| (2) For the purposes of this section, "business credits" | 78 |
| means the credits listed in section 5747.98 of the Revised Code | 79 |
| excluding the following credits: | 80 |
| (a) The retirement credit under division (B) of section | 81 |
| 5747.055 of the Revised Code; | 82 |
| (b) The senior citizen credit under division (C) of section | 83 |
| 5747.05 of the Revised Code; | 84 |
| (c) The lump sum distribution credit under division (D) of | 85 |
| section 5747.05 of the Revised Code; | 86 |
| (d) The dependent care credit under section 5747.054 of the | 87 |
| Revised Code; | 88 |
| (e) The lump sum retirement income credit under division (C) | 89 |
| of section 5747.055 of the Revised Code; | 90 |
| (f) The lump sum retirement income credit under division (D) | 91 |
| of section 5747.055 of the Revised Code; | 92 |
| (g) The lump sum retirement income credit under division (E) | 93 |
| of section 5747.055 of the Revised Code; | 94 |
| (h) The credit for displaced workers who pay for job training | 95 |
| under section 5747.27 of the Revised Code; | 96 |
| (i) The twenty-dollar personal exemption credit under section | 97 |
| 5747.022 of the Revised Code; | 98 |
| (j) The joint filing credit under division (G) of section | 99 |
| 5747.05 of the Revised Code; | 100 |
| (k) The nonresident credit under division (A) of section | 101 |
| 5747.05 of the Revised Code; | 102 |
| (l) The credit for a resident's out-of-state income under | 103 |
| division (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code; | 104 |
| (m) The low-income credit under section 5747.056 of the | 105 |
| Revised Code; | 106 |
| (n) The big eight school district teacher credits under | 107 |
| section 5747.71 of the Revised Code. | 108 |
| (3) The election provided for under division (D) of this | 109 |
| section applies only to the taxable year for which the election is | 110 |
| made by the pass-through entity. Unless the tax commissioner | 111 |
| provides otherwise, this election, once made, is binding and | 112 |
| irrevocable for the taxable year for which the election is made. | 113 |
| Nothing in this division shall be construed to provide for any | 114 |
| deduction or credit that would not be allowable if a nonresident | 115 |
| pass-through entity investor were to file an annual return. | 116 |
| (4) If a pass-through entity makes the election provided for | 117 |
| under division (D) of this section, the pass-through entity shall | 118 |
| be liable for any additional taxes, interest, interest penalty, or | 119 |
| penalties imposed by this chapter if the tax commissioner finds | 120 |
| that the single return does not reflect the correct tax due by the | 121 |
| pass-through entity investors covered by that return. Nothing in | 122 |
| this division shall be construed to limit or alter the liability, | 123 |
| if any, imposed on pass-through entity investors for unpaid or | 124 |
| underpaid taxes, interest, interest penalty, or penalties as a | 125 |
| result of the pass-through entity's making the election provided | 126 |
| for under division (D) of this section. For the purposes of | 127 |
| division (D) of this section, "correct tax due" means the tax that | 128 |
| would have been paid by the pass-through entity had the single | 129 |
| return been filed in a manner reflecting the tax commissioner's | 130 |
| findings. Nothing in division (D) of this section shall be | 131 |
| construed to make or hold a pass-through entity liable for tax | 132 |
| attributable to a pass-through entity investor's income from a | 133 |
| source other than the pass-through entity electing to file the | 134 |
| single return. | 135 |
| (E) If a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax | 136 |
| return for a taxable year, they shall file a joint return under | 137 |
| this section for that taxable year, and their liabilities are | 138 |
| joint and several, but, if the federal income tax liability of | 139 |
| either spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax | 140 |
| return, they shall file separate returns under this section. | 141 |
| If either spouse is not required to file a federal income tax | 142 |
| return and either or both are required to file a return pursuant | 143 |
| to this chapter, they may elect to file separate or joint returns, | 144 |
| and, pursuant to that election, their liabilities are separate or | 145 |
| joint and several. If a husband and wife file separate returns | 146 |
| pursuant to this chapter, each must claim the taxpayer's own | 147 |
| exemption, but not both, as authorized under section 5747.02 of | 148 |
| the Revised Code on the taxpayer's own return. | 149 |
| (F) Each return or notice required to be filed under this | 150 |
| section shall contain the signature of the taxpayer or the | 151 |
| taxpayer's duly authorized agent and of the person who prepared | 152 |
| the return for the taxpayer, and shall include the taxpayer's | 153 |
| social security number. Each return shall be verified by a | 154 |
| declaration under the penalties of perjury. The tax commissioner | 155 |
| shall prescribe the form that the signature and declaration shall | 156 |
| take. | 157 |
| (G) Each return or notice required to be filed under this | 158 |
| section shall be made and filed as required by section 5747.04 of | 159 |
| the Revised Code, on or before the fifteenth day of April of each | 160 |
| year, on forms that the tax commissioner shall prescribe, together | 161 |
| with remittance made payable to the treasurer of state in the | 162 |
| combined amount of the state and all school district income taxes | 163 |
| shown to be due on the form, unless the combined amount shown to | 164 |
| be due is one dollar or less, in which case that amount need not | 165 |
| be remitted. | 166 |
| Upon good cause shown, the tax commissioner may extend the | 167 |
| period for filing any notice or return required to be filed under | 168 |
| this section and may adopt rules relating to extensions. If the | 169 |
| extension results in an extension of time for the payment of any | 170 |
| state or school district income tax liability with respect to | 171 |
| which the return is filed, the taxpayer shall pay at the time the | 172 |
| tax liability is paid an amount of interest computed at the rate | 173 |
| per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code on | 174 |
| that liability from the time that payment is due without extension | 175 |
| to the time of actual payment. Except as provided in section | 176 |
| 5747.132 of the Revised Code, in addition to all other interest | 177 |
| charges and penalties, all taxes imposed under this chapter or | 178 |
| Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code and remaining unpaid after they | 179 |
| become due, except combined amounts due of one dollar or less, | 180 |
| bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 | 181 |
| of the Revised Code until paid or until the day an assessment is | 182 |
| issued under section 5747.13 of the Revised Code, whichever occurs | 183 |
| first. | 184 |
| If the tax commissioner considers it necessary in order to | 185 |
| ensure the payment of the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the | 186 |
| Revised Code or any tax imposed under Chapter 5748. of the Revised | 187 |
| Code, the tax commissioner may require returns and payments to be | 188 |
| made otherwise than as provided in this section. | 189 |
| To the extent that any provision in this division conflicts | 190 |
| with any provision in section 5747.026 of the Revised Code, the | 191 |
| provision in that section prevails. | 192 |
| (H) If any report, claim, statement, or other document | 193 |
| required to be filed, or any payment required to be made, within a | 194 |
| prescribed period or on or before a prescribed date under this | 195 |
| chapter is delivered after that period or that date by United | 196 |
| States mail to the agency, officer, or office with which the | 197 |
| report, claim, statement, or other document is required to be | 198 |
| filed, or to which the payment is required to be made, the date of | 199 |
| the postmark stamped on the cover in which the report, claim, | 200 |
| statement, or other document, or payment is mailed shall be deemed | 201 |
| to be the date of delivery or the date of payment. | 202 |
| If a payment is required to be made by electronic funds | 203 |
| transfer pursuant to section 5747.072 of the Revised Code, the | 204 |
| payment is considered to be made when the payment is received by | 205 |
| the treasurer of state or credited to an account designated by the | 206 |
| treasurer of state for the receipt of tax payments. | 207 |
| "The date of the postmark" means, in the event there is more | 208 |
| than one date on the cover, the earliest date imprinted on the | 209 |
| cover by the United States postal service. | 210 |
| (I) The amounts withheld by the employer pursuant to section | 211 |
| 5747.06 of the Revised Code shall be allowed to the recipient of | 212 |
| the compensation as credits against payment of the appropriate | 213 |
| taxes imposed on the recipient by section 5747.02 and under | 214 |
| Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code. | 215 |
| (J) If, in accordance with division (D) of this section, a | 216 |
| pass-through entity elects to file a single return and if any | 217 |
| investor is required to file the return and make the payment of | 218 |
| taxes required by this chapter on account of the investor's other | 219 |
| income that is not included in a single return filed by a | 220 |
| pass-through entity, the investor is entitled to a refundable | 221 |
| credit equal to the investor's proportionate share of the tax paid | 222 |
| by the pass-through entity on behalf of the investor. The investor | 223 |
| shall claim the credit for the investor's taxable year in which or | 224 |
| with which ends the taxable year of the pass-through entity. | 225 |
| Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to allow any credit | 226 |
| provided in this chapter to be claimed more than once. For the | 227 |
| purposes of computing any interest, penalty, or interest penalty, | 228 |
| the investor shall be deemed to have paid the refundable credit | 229 |
| provided by this division on the day that the pass-through entity | 230 |
| paid the estimated tax or the tax giving rise to the credit. | 231 |
| Sec. 5747.71. As used in this section, "big eight school | 232 |
| district" has the same meaning as in section 3314.02 of the | 233 |
| Revised Code. | 234 |
| (A) A refundable credit is allowed against the tax imposed by | 235 |
| section 5747.02 of the Revised Code for a taxpayer who, for the | 236 |
| entire period that school is open for instruction and that ends in | 237 |
| the taxable year, excluding summer school, is employed as a | 238 |
| teacher by a big eight school district and resides in the same | 239 |
| district. | 240 |
| (B) An additional refundable credit is allowed against the | 241 |
| tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code for a taxpayer | 242 |
| who qualifies for the credit allowed under division (A) of this | 243 |
| section and who is employed to teach mathematics, science, or | 244 |
| technology for that entire period. | 245 |
| (C) The amount of each credit is equal to one-half of one per | 246 |
| cent of the taxpayer's Ohio adjusted gross income. In the case of | 247 |
| a joint return, the amount of each credit is equal to one-half of | 248 |
| one per cent of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income as if the | 249 |
| taxpayer had filed an individual return. | 250 |
| The credits shall be claimed in the order required under | 251 |
| section 5747.98 of the Revised Code. If the amount of the credit | 252 |
| exceeds the amount of tax otherwise due under section 5747.02 of | 253 |
| the Revised Code after deduction of all other credits in that | 254 |
| order, the taxpayer is entitled to a refund of the excess. | 255 |
| Sec. 5747.98. (A) To provide a uniform procedure for | 256 |
| calculating the amount of tax due under section 5747.02 of the | 257 |
| Revised Code, a taxpayer shall claim any credits to which the | 258 |
| taxpayer is entitled in the following order: | 259 |
| (1) The retirement income credit under division (B) of | 260 |
| section 5747.055 of the Revised Code; | 261 |

| granted under division (I) of section 5747.08 of the Revised Code, | 340 |
| the amount of the credit for a taxable year shall not exceed the | 341 |
