Can I get a copy of my return if I use Ohio I-File?

Yes. When you have completed filing your return you will be given a confirmation number that verifies you have filed your return. Along with your confirmation number you will also be shown your completed Ohio individual income tax return, form IT-1040 or your school district individual income tax return, form SD-100, as filed. You will be given the opportunity to print your confirmation number and your return for your records.

You can choose to save your return in a portable document format (PDF) to your PC if your computer supports Adobe Acrobat Viewing software. Additionally, you can return to I-File anytime after you submit your return through Dec. 1st of the calendar year in which you filed to obtain a copy of your return. Important: In order to return to I-File, you must retain your registration information including your user ID and password.

If an electronic payment is made by credit card or electronic check, you will be given a separate confirmation number for that transaction. You will be given an opportunity to print this confirmation number for your records as well. We recommend you keep your return and confirmation for four years.
