Employers/Payroll Providers:
The filing due date of the IT 3/W-2s has changed to January 31

Effective for the filing of the 2016 IT 3 (Transmittal of Wage & Tax Statements) and the accompanying W-2s (see Note below), the filing due date is now January 31, 2017. Along with the Federal government's passing of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, this will aid in the Ohio Department of Taxation's (ODT) commitment to preventing taxpayer fraud. This  filing due date is codified in section  5747.07(E)(2) of the Ohio Revised Code.

Note: Employers with 250 or more W-2 forms must send this information to us on magnetic media using an approved format (SSA's EFW2).  ODT has waived the requirement for employers that issue less than 250 W-2 forms  to send paper copies, but you are encouraged to send this W-2 information to us on magnetic media.

Registering to vote in Ohio has never been easier.

Thanks to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, Ohioans wishing to register to vote or update their registration can now do so online at MyOhioVote.com/VoterRegistration.

At Secretary Husted's request, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 63, which authorizes the use of online voter registration in Ohio. The bill allowed the system to be made available to Ohioans as early as January 1, 2017 and it launched at midnight on the first.

Secretary Husted has long been an advocate for online voter registration in Ohio, which has proven in other states to save between 50 cents and $2.34 per registration, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. Between 2011 and 2016, the state could have saved between $3.7 million and $17.3 million.

Online voter registration is more convenient, more secure, more accurate and less costly than the paper voter registration alone.

UPCOMING EVENTS UPCOMINGEVENTS


The Scioto Society, producers of the Outdoor Drama Tecumseh! are extremely excited to announce their third annual spring fundraiser, CEAD MILE FAILTE, on March 11th at St. Peters Hall in Downtown Chillicothe. The event is sponsored by Huntington Bank.

"In Just two years, this event has become one of the signature social events in Chillicothe. We had set out to put on a fundraiser that was fun, different, casual and most importantly not stuffy. The sold out crowd told us we did it all right and to please do it again. Jan Nusbaum is again serving as our event chair and everyone in town knows what a great party Jan throws. So, we are changing up some things to keep it fresh but I predict this will once again be the party that Chillicothe talks about for the next 12 months. Sure, we'll have all the normal fundraiser stuff including a silent auction with a fantastic collection of items. But it's going to be a big night. The Drowsy Lads are the hottest young Irish band in Ohio and they showed us last year how much fun they are on stage. We're thrilled they're returning" Said Brandon Smith, CEO of the Scioto Society.

The event will be held in the stunningly renovated St. Peters Hall and offer a glimpse into a historic building that many people may not have had the opportunity to see. Several local caterers will provide the food including. Sara Myers of High Five Cakes will again be creating a showpiece of a cake for the event.

"Her creation was the most talked about bakery item in Ross County the past two years and I have no doubt she'll outdo herself yet again. There's some surprises still in store. But I can tell you this...the event is going to sell out again, it will be the party of the year again and do I don't recommend waiting to get a ticket" said Smith.

Tickets are $75 each or $550 for reserved tables of eight. Ticket includes dinner, champagne and the show. Tickets are available now by calling 740-775-4100. Cead Mile Failte is presented by Huntington Bank with support from G&J Pespi Bottlers.



Tickets are available now at  www.tecumsehdrama.com  
or by calling  1-866-775-0700 .
