- Nonprofit corporations must file a $25 Statement of Continued Existence every five years or their articles are canceled.
- All businesses must file an annual unclaimed funds report with the Ohio Department of Commerce by November 1 (even if there is nothing to report).
- Ohio Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) applies only above $6 million in Ohio taxable gross receipts for 2025 and later; the annual minimum tax was eliminated starting 2024 (threshold-only, so not listed as an entity tax).
