Ohio does not have an extension request form, but honors the IRS extension.
Ohio Tax Extension Form: Ohio does not have its own separate state extension form. To obtain an Ohio tax extension, you must first file a Federal tax extension (IRS Form 4868). If you have a valid 6-month Federal extension, you will automatically receive an Ohio extension for the same amount of time.
Ohio Cities accept extension requests with or without payments. Ohio Cities also accept federal Form 4868 as the extension request. Filing a federal or city extension potentially eliminates fail-to-file penalties if certain criteria are met.
A tax extension is a request for an additional six months to file a tax return with the IRS. Extensions typically move the filing deadline from mid-April to mid-October.
