The intricacies involved in settling an estate in Ohio are encapsulated in the Ohio ET 2 form, a crucial document for executors managing the estate tax obligations for deceased Ohio residents. This form applies specifically to estates where the decedent passed away on or after January 1, 2002, and possesses a gross value exceeding $338,333. It’s a comprehensive guide not just for calculating the estate's tax liability but also serves as an instructional manual detailing which schedules need to be filled, based on the estate’s composition, and outlines proper filing procedures. The form makes clear the differentiation in requirements for estates with different dates of death, highlighting the state's adaptive approach to estate taxation over time. Executors are advised on computation checks, the importance of accuracy in deductions, and the methods for declaring taxable estate values, which are pivotal in determining the estate’s tax due or refund eligible. Moreover, it addresses the need for careful documentation, from waivers for further correspondence to the necessity for declarations under penalties of perjury by the executor and preparer alike. This detailed approach underscores Ohio’s attempt to streamline estate tax filings while ensuring compliance and accuracy in reporting.

General Information
When an estate tax return is required (R.C. section 5731.21)
Estates with a gross value of more than $338,333 are required to file an estate tax form 2 (revised 12/2001). Executors and administrators are responsible for filing the estate tax re- turn.
Returns are not required to be filed for gross estates with a value of $338,333 or less. How- ever, if the estate consists of real estate and has a value of $338,333 or less, an estate tax form 22 should be filed with probate court to expedite the release of the real estate lien.
What estate tax form is required to be completed (R.C. section 5731.21)
If the date of death was prior to January 1, 2001, Ohio estate tax form 2, revised 3/2000, is required to be filed.
If the date of death was between January 1, 2001-December 31, 2001, Ohio estate tax form 2, revised 1/2001, is required to be filed.
If the date of death is on or after January 1, 2002, Ohio estate tax form 2, revised 12/2001, is required to be filed.
When and where to file (R.C. section 5731.21)
Returns are required to be filed within nine months from decedent’s date of death (see Exten- sion of Time to File, below). All filings must be made in duplicate with the probate court where will is probated or estate is administered.
When and where to pay (tax and interest) (R.C. section 5731.23)
Tax and interest are paid at the county auditor’s office, with the check drawn to the order of the county treasurer. Interest begins to accrue at variable rates nine months from decedent’s date of death. The county auditor will calculate any interest owing.
Extension of time
Estates of decedents with a date of death on or after January 1, 2000 are granted an auto-
to file (R.C. section
matic six-month extension, allowing them a total of 15 months to file the estate tax return.
5731.21)
Any additional six-month extensions must be requested in writing directly to the Estate Tax
Division on estate tax form 24 before the due date of the return.
Interest on any estate tax due will be calculated from nine months from date of death
regardless if the estate utilizes the automatic or additional extensions. To stop the
accrual of interest, an estimated payment of tax may be made. (See Estimated Pay-
ments on page 7.)
Estates of decedents with a date of death on or after July 24, 1986 may request to extend the
to pay (R.C. section
time for payment of tax for undue hardship. Specific examples of undue hardship are listed in
5731.25)
the Ohio Revised Code and include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) insufficient liquid
funds despite efforts to convert assets to cash; (2) a substantial portion of the assets of the
gross estate consisting of rights to receive payments in the future; and (3) the inability to
accurately determine the size of the gross estate because a substantial portion of the
decedent’s assets is subject to litigation.
The estate must request this extension on the estate tax form 41 no later than forty-five (45)
days prior to the due date of the estate tax return. This form must be filed directly with the
Estate Tax Division. Additional extensions must be filed not less than thirty (30) days before
the expiration of the previous extension. Each extension is granted for no more than one year
per request.Additional extensions may be granted annually up to a maximum of 14 years. For
further information, please refer to estate tax Bulletin 3A.
- 6 -
Estimated payments (R.C. section 5731.23)
An estimated payment can be made prior to the filing of the estate tax return, by using an estate tax form 17. This payment will stop the accrual of interest on the amount of tax paid.
Estimated payments are collected in the same manner as stated on page 6 in When and Where to Pay. If the tax ultimately assessed is more than the estimated payment, interest on the excess will accrue nine months from decedent’s date of death. If the tax ultimately as- sessed is less than the estimated payment, the estate may be eligible for a refund.
Penalties
(R.C. section 5731.22)
Failure to timely file the estate tax return (determined with regard to any approved extension) results in a penalty assessment.
The penalty is five (5) percent per month or any fraction of a month, not to exceed twenty-five
(25)percent of the tax as finally determined. Interest does not accrue on penalty assess- ments.
Nonresident estates (R.C. section 5731.19)
The estate of a nonresident decedent must file estate tax forms 2 and 4 if the decedent owned the following types of property: real property situated in Ohio; tangible personal property having an actual situs in Ohio; and intangible personal property employed in carrying on a business within Ohio (unless exempted under R.C. section 5731.34). The filing requirements are the same as for a resident decedent, except the return may be filed directly with the county probate court where the Ohio property is located.
Additional tax
(R.C. sections 5731.18, 5731.19 and 5731.24)
An additional tax is due when the federal state death tax credit exceeds the Ohio tax paid. If an estate (resident or nonresident) falls into the federal estate tax category, estate tax forms 3 or 3N (additional tax returns) may be required to be filed. The return and payment are due sixty (60) days after the date of the final determination of the federal estate tax liability (closing letter or equivalent as issued by the I.R.S.). The additional tax shall be paid, without notice or demand by the tax commissioner, with the return, and shall be filed and paid in the same manner as the estate tax, except that interest begins to accrue sixty (60) days after the date of the final determination of the federal estate tax liability.
Distribution of tax (R.C. sections 5731.48 and 5731.50)
For dates of death on or after January 1, 2002, eighty (80) percent of the tax is distributed to the municipal corporation, village or township in which the tax originates and twenty (20) percent to the state of Ohio.
Marital deduction (R.C. section 5731.15)
A marital deduction may be taken for certain property interests that pass from the decedent to the surviving spouse. Property interests that should be listed include the following: (1) survivor of tenancy by the entirety or joint tenancy; (2) appointee under decedent’s exercise of a power; (3) statutory interests passing to a spouse as a result of a right of election to take against the will; and (4) bequests from decedent pursuant to will.
Property interests that should not be listed include: (1) property that does not pass from decedent to surviving spouse; (2) qualified terminable interests for which QTIP election is not made; and (3) property that has been disclaimed by a surviving spouse under R.C. section 1339.68.

Explanation of Elections
Alternate Valuation Date [R.C. Section 5731.01(A) and (D)]
The gross estate may be valued on the decedent’s date of death or on an alternate valuation date. The alternate valuation date is six months from date of death unless the property item is sold, disposed of or distributed within that six months.
The executor must make an election by checking “yes” in the Elections section of the return. This election is mutually ex- clusive of the federal election. However, it must be elected
within one year and nine months from the date of decedent’s death or within one year from any extensions granted by the tax commissioner. Once made, this election is irrevocable.
If alternate valuation is elected, please list both date of death values and alternate values, and the alternate valuation date on the applicable schedules.
Qualified Farm Property Valuation (R.C. Section 5731.011)
The estate may elect Qualified Farm Property Valuation for determining the value of farm property as an alternative to its fair market value. To have qualified farm property valued at this special valuation, certain conditions must be met.* This elec-
tion must be made on a timely filed return determined with regard to any approved extensions of time to file.
To help expedite the audit, please attach the following:
1.A complete estate tax form 34;
2.Most recent county auditor real estate propertyrecord;
3.Current agricultural use valuation (CAUV) cards (from county auditor);
4.Fair market value appraisal (broken down into one acre homesite, improvements and bare land only).
If the qualified farm property valuation is elected, use the quali- fied farm property value column in Schedule A or identify the qualified property under Schedule E or G.
*Please refer to estate tax Bulletin 5.
Qualified Terminable Interest Property (QTIP)
(R.C. Section 5731.15)
The Qualified Terminable Interest Property (QTIP) election al- lows certain life estates held for the surviving spouse to qualify for the marital deduction.
The requirements for QTIP are the following:
1.Surviving spouse must receive all the income for life pay- able annually or at more frequent intervals; and
2.No one can have a power to appoint the property to any person other than the surviving spouse during surviving spouse’s life; and
3.The executor must make an election by checking “yes” in the Elections section of the return. Once the election is
made, it is irrevocable. This election must be made on a timely filed return determined with regard to any approved extensions of time to file.
The executor may make a partial QTIP election only if it is in the form of a fraction or percentage of available QTIP property. The specific interest should be clearly identified as QTIP.
The surviving spouse’s estate must include all QTIP property claimed in the first spouse’s estate, to the extent not con- sumed or given away, at the value on the date of death of the surviving spouse.

After a loved one passes, handling their estate is a necessary step to fulfill their final wishes and distribute their assets according to the law. For estates in Ohio with a date of death on or after January 1, 2002, that have a gross value of more than $338,333, the Ohio Estate Tax Return (ET 2) must be completed and filed. This form ensures that any applicable estate taxes are accurately calculated and paid. The process involves reading instructions, completing schedules, and providing detailed information about the decedent's assets and liabilities. The steps below guide you through completing the ET 2 form. Note that this is a straightforward overview; for more complex estates, consider seeking legal advice.
After submitting the ET 2 form, the Probate Court and the Ohio Department of Taxation will review the document. You might receive further communication regarding additional information or corrections. Ensure that all correspondence is addressed promptly to avoid any delays in the processing of the estate tax return.
What is the Ohio ET 2 form?
The Ohio ET 2 form is an estate tax return document that must be filed for estates of individuals who passed away on or after January 1, 2002, and whose gross estate value exceeds $338,333. This form, alongside its instructions, helps in computing taxes owed to the state of Ohio based on the net value of the decedent's estate after allowable deductions.
Who needs to file the Ohio ET 2 form?
Estate representatives of decedents who had their date of death on or after January 1, 2002, and possess a gross estate exceeding the threshold of $338,333 are required to file the Ohio ET 2 form. Estates below this value are not required to file. It is crucial for the executor or administrator to determine the gross estate value accurately to establish the filing obligation.
How can one obtain the schedules mentioned in the Ohio ET 2 form?
The schedules necessary for completing the Ohio ET 2 form can be obtained through the Ohio Department of Taxation's website at tax.ohio.gov. Alternatively, individuals can contact the Ohio Department of Taxation for assistance. These schedules are crucial for accurately reporting various aspects of the estate such as debts, deductions, and assets.
What deductions are allowable on the Ohio ET 2 form?
The form allows various deductions from the gross estate, including debts owed by the decedent, expenses related to the administration of the estate, charitable bequests, marital deductions, and qualified family-owned business interests. These deductions help in determining the net taxable estate, which is the basis for computing the estate tax due.
Where and how is the Ohio ET 2 form filed?
The completed Ohio ET 2 form, along with any applicable schedules and additional documentation, must be filed in duplicate with the Probate Court of the county where the decedent's estate is being administered. The General Information section of the form provides detailed instructions on the filing process, including the location for submission and payment of any taxes due.
Filling out the Ohio ET 2 form, related to estate tax returns for estates with significant gross values, can be a complex process. It's important to approach this task with attention to detail to avoid common mistakes that could delay processing or affect the tax obligations. Below are ten mistakes frequently made when completing this form:
These mistakes emphasize the importance of a meticulous review process and the potential need for professional advice when dealing with estate taxes in Ohio. Ensuring accuracy on the Ohio ET 2 form not only complies with legal requirements but also properly honors the financial legacy of the deceased.
When handling the complexities of estate planning and administration in Ohio, especially with the ET 2 form for Ohio Estate Tax Returns, various other documents and forms often come into play. Understanding the relevance and requirements of each document can provide clarity and ensure compliance during this critical process.
Managing an estate, particularly in the face of grief, can be a daunting task. Each document plays a crucial role in navigating the administrative and legal requirements efficiently and effectively. Recognizing the purpose and importance of these forms and documents ensures a smoother process for those tasked with this responsibility. For any uncertainties or complexities, consulting with a legal professional experienced in estate planning and administration is advisable.
The federal estate tax return, often referred to as Form 706, shares a key similarity with the Ohio ET 2 form. Both documents are essential for reporting an individual's estate's value after their passing and calculating the tax due based on that value. Whereas the Ohio ET 2 form is used specifically within the state of Ohio for estates of decedents with death dates on or after January 1, 2002, Form 706 is required by the federal government for all estates that exceed a certain threshold, which is subject to change over time. Both forms require detailed listings of assets, deductions, and applicable credits towards estate taxes.
The gift tax return, or IRS Form 709, also bears resemblance to the Ohio ET 2 form. This document is used for individuals to report transfers of property or money to others that exceed the annual exclusion amount. Similar to the ET 2 form, Form 709 helps calculate the tax due on these transfers, ensuring compliance with tax laws. Both forms play a crucial role in tracking the transfer of wealth, whether through inheritance in the case of the ET 2 form or as gifts during the giver's lifetime with Form 709.
The state inheritance tax returns of states that still impose such taxes have parallels with the Ohio ET 2 form. Like Ohio's estate tax form, these documents entail calculating taxes based on the value of assets received by heirs after someone's death. The key difference lies in the fact that estate taxes are levied on the overall value of the estate before distribution, while inheritance taxes are assessed on the assets received by each beneficiary.
The final individual income tax return, IRS Form 1040, filed on behalf of the deceased, shares a common goal with the Ohio ET 2 form. Both aim to settle the decedent's tax obligations. The ET 2 focuses on the estate's obligations, while the final Form 1040 addresses the decedent's last year of personal income taxes. Both are critical for providing a clear tax status associated with the individual at hand.
Trust income tax returns, IRS Form 1041, relate to the Ohio ET 2 form through their involvement in handling the deceased's assets. While the ET 2 form deals with the estate’s overall tax, Form 1041 is concerned with any income generated by a trust that the decedent had a part in creating. Both entail careful accounting of assets and their growth or diminution.
The Ohio IT 1041 form, the fiduciary income tax return for estates and trusts within Ohio, resembles the ET 2 in purpose and structure, focusing on income rather than the estate's total value. Both forms ensure that either income from or the overall value of an estate or trust is appropriately taxed according to Ohio law, maintaining the state's tax records.
The Application for Tax Clearance Certificate, often a requirement in the estate settlement process, has a practical connection to the ET 2 form. While the ET 2 provides a comprehensive calculation and payment of estate taxes, the Tax Clearance Certificate serves as proof that all tax liabilities, including those reported on the ET 2, have been satisfied for the estate in question.
Form SS-4, the application for an Employer Identification Number (EIN), is pertinent when managing an estate, similar to the ET 2 form's role in estate administration in Ohio. Following a death, an EIN is often necessary for the estate, allowing it to be recognized as a separate taxable entity, much like how the ET 2 form recognizes the estate's tax responsibilities.
The Ohio Real Property Conveyance Fee Statement of Value and Receipt (Form DTE 100(EX)) intersects with the purposes of the ET 2 form in situations involving estate real estate. This document is used to report the transfer of real property and determine the applicable conveyance fee, paralleling how the ET 2 form accounts for real estate within an estate's total value for tax computation.
Last, the Decedent’s Final Medical Expenses form, while not a tax form per se, complements information needed for the ET 2 form by detailing the decedent's last healthcare expenditures. Such expenses can be relevant deductions on the estate tax return, highlighting the interconnectedness of various documents in comprehensively addressing an estate's financial aspects post-mortem.
When filling out the Ohio ET 2 form, it is essential to ensure accuracy and completeness to avoid unnecessary delays or issues with the Ohio Department of Taxation. Below are lists of things to do and not to do when completing this form for estates with dates of death on or after January 1, 2002.
What to Do:
Before starting, thoroughly read the General Information section on pages 6 and 7 to understand the instructions clearly.
Ensure that you complete only the applicable schedules for the return. The list of schedules is available on pages 4 and 5, on the tax.ohio.gov website, or by contacting the Ohio Department of Taxation directly.
Carefully check your computation for accuracy to ensure that the tax calculation reflects the accurate net taxable estate and applicable deductions.
Refer to the General Information section, specifically page 6, for detailed instructions on where and how to file and pay the estate tax.
Verify all entered information to ensure it is true, correct, and complete to the best of your knowledge and belief.
Attach all required documents, such as a copy of the will, trust documents, federal gift tax returns, or federal estate tax return (form 706), if applicable.
Sign and date the form where indicated, ensuring that both the executor/administrator and the preparer (if different from the executor) sign it.
What Not to Do:
Do not leave applicable fields blank. If a section does not apply, clearly mark it as "N/A" (not applicable) instead of leaving it empty.
Avoid guesswork by not estimating values of assets or deductions. Use exact numbers whenever possible.
Do not file the form without reviewing the tax computation and ensuring that the tax credit and previous payments are accurately applied.
Resist the urge to file the ET 2 form without all necessary attachments. Missing documents can delay processing.
Do not ignore election options such as alternate valuation, qualified farm property valuation, or deductions for qualified terminable interest property (QTIP). Make these selections as applicable.
Avoid sending the form without keeping a copy for your records. Having a copy can be crucial for future reference or in case of discrepancies.
Do not disregard the deadline for filing and payments as indicated by the Ohio Department of Taxation to avoid penalties.
There are several misconceptions about the Ohio ET 2 form, commonly known as the Ohio Estate Tax Return. Understanding these misconceptions is crucial for accurately completing and submitting this form. Below are five common misunderstandings and their clarifications:
