Selling into Cincinnati: Ohio rules

What's taxable: At the state level, SaaS is partly taxable, clothing is taxable, groceries are exempt and digital goods are taxable.

Economic nexus: Ohio economic nexus is triggered when your gross sales into the state reach $100,000 or 200 separate transactions in the current or prior calendar year. Either threshold creates an obligation.

Filing: Ohio assigns monthly or semiannual filing based on tax volume. Returns are due the 23rd of the month following the reporting period — a later date than most states.

Registration, exemptions, penalties and marketplace rules are in the Ohio sales tax guide.
