According to ABC6OnYourSide.com, more than 5.5 million Ohio taxpayers are expected to file by the April 15 deadline, but there are a few changes.
- An increase in the maximum deduction for Medical Savings Account contributions;
- Increases to tax-free contributions to an Ohio 529 plan or to a STABLE account to a maximum of $4,000 per beneficiary;
- An inflation adjustment to the personal exemption and the tax brackets;
- A new deduction for income earned by out-of-state business owners and nonresident employees who conduct disaster work in Ohio during a disaster response, and
- Shorter, simpler tax booklet instructions.
The state has also stepped up its fraud protection by directing some taxpayers to take an identification quiz.
