The Ohio Legislator’s Guide to 2009 Taxes

January 2010

In recent years, The Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants and the members of the Ohio General Assembly have formed an effective partnership in helping to make Ohio a better place in which to work and live.

Ohio's CPAs have welcomed opportunities to testify before the House and Senate on many issues, and to share concerns through correspondence and in forums around the state. We appreciate your willingness to hear our views on matters that impact the accounting profession, business community and the taxpayer.

With more than 23,000 members, The Ohio Society of CPAs provides expert advice on a wide variety of economic, business and financial issues. Please don't hesitate to use The Ohio Society as a resource for any business issues of concern to you or your constituents.

In an effort to be of assistance to you now, The Ohio Society has prepared, and is pleased to present, The Ohio Legislator's Guide to 2009 Taxes. This guide will be helpful to you by answering some frequently raised questions about income tax laws that specifically affect you as a member of the Ohio General Assembly. As you know, tax laws change periodically, and court decisions and Internal Revenue Service rulings further complicate the picture. Therefore, material in this guide should be considered current for the 2009 tax year only.

If you have additional questions, or if you need assistance in preparing your income tax return, we suggest you contact your certified public accountant. If you don't have a CPA, we would be happy to refer you to a CPA in your district.
