I obtained a new federal Employer’s Identification Number (EIN) resulting from a change in my business status. Can I continue to use my Ohio withholding number?

No, you cannot continue to use the Ohio withholding number. If a new federal EIN is issued, you must apply for a new Ohio withholding number that corresponds with the new federal EIN. You can obtain a new Ohio number by calling our Registration Unit at 1-888-405-4089 or by completing and submitting form IT-1. Also, you will need to close the withholding account for the prior business, including filing all payroll tax returns up through the date of closure.
