In Ohio, all types of income are generally subject to personal income tax unless they are specifically exempt by state law. This includes, but is not limited to, wages and salary, dividends, capital gains, royalties, and other types of income.
File return
To file a tax return in Ohio, taxpayers must complete and submit a tax return form. The tax return form requires taxpayers to report their taxable income and any credits or deductions they are eligible to claim. Taxpayers must also calculate their tax liability and pay any taxes owed by the due date.

This extension doesn't extend the deadline for payment of taxes, it is only for filing returns. The state penalises late payment of taxes.

Deductions
Tax deductions are a reduction in the amount of income that is subject to taxation. It allows taxpayers to lower the amount of taxable income they have, which in turn reduces the amount of tax they owe. Tax deductions are available for a wide range of expenses, such as charitable donations, mortgage interest, medical expenses, and business expenses.
Credits
A tax credit allows taxpayers to reduce the amount of taxes they are required to pay. This is different from a tax deduction, which reduces the amount of income that is subject to taxation. Tax credits are applied directly to the tax liability, while deductions are applied to the taxable income.

Tax exclusions are an amount of money or income that is not subject to taxation. This means that taxpayers do not have to pay taxes on this income.
