Introduction to Ohio IT-1040 I-File
Are you having trouble registering?
If the system does not accept your registration you will need
to fax the following information:
1) On cover sheet:
a) Put to the attention of I-FILE REGISTRATION GROUP
along with your e-mail address and
b) List your date of birth AND daytime phone number
2) Send clear copies of your Social Security card and
at least one additional piece of the following documentation
from the list below:
a) Your current, valid driver’s license or state
issued identification card
b) U.S. passport
c) Military ID – both front and back sides
required
3) If you do not have a social security
number:
You must obtain a taxpayer identification number from the
Internal Revenue Service and provide a copy of that document
along with your date of birth and your current valid driver's
license issued by a state or territory under the
jurisdiction of the United States.
4) Please fax the above information to the I-FILE
REGISTRATION Group at 1-206-600-6113.
Once all information is received and verified, we will add
you to the Ohio I-File system. Once added, you will be
able to register and use Ohio I-File and Ohio E-Payment
systems. We ask that you include a daytime telephone number
or e-mail address in the event we have any questions or if
we are unable to add you to Ohio I-File system this tax
season. If we cannot add you to the system this tax season,
you will be advised to file by paper.
We are striving to offer 24 hour turnaround response time;
however, during the Personal Income Tax filing season, there
may be additional delays due to the volume of inquiries
received.
NOTE: Information sent to the I-File
Registration group is reviewed to determine eligibility for
using Ohio’s electronic filing methods; however it does not
guarantee that you will qualify. Based on our research if we
are unable to verify the required information to add you to
the I-File system you must complete and file a paper return
(sign it and return it to the address indicated on the form).
Please make sure you include copies of your W-2s.
