Ohio Revised Code Title LVII. Taxation § 5736.50

(A) A taxpayer granted a credit by the tax credit authority under section 122.17 or former division (B)(2) or (3) of section 122.171 of the Revised Code, as those divisions existed before the effective date of the amendment of this section by H.B. 64 of the 131st general assembly, may claim a refundable credit against the tax imposed under this chapter. For the purpose of making tax payments under this chapter, taxes equal to the amount of the refundable credit shall be considered to be paid on the first day of the tax period.

(B) A nonrefundable credit granted by the tax credit authority under division (B) of section 122.171 of the Revised Code may be claimed against the tax imposed under this chapter.

(C) Credits authorized in division (A) or (B) of this section shall not be claimed for any tax period beginning after the date on which a relocation of employment positions occurs in violation of an agreement entered into under section 122.17 or 122.171 of the Revised Code.

(D) A taxpayer may claim any unused portion of the credit authorized under division (B) of section 5751.50 of the Revised Code against the tax imposed under this chapter. No credit shall be allowed under this division if the credit was available against the tax imposed under section 5751.02 of the Revised Code except to the extent the credit was not applied against that tax.

(E) The amount of a credit claimed under division (B) or (D) of this section shall not exceed the tax otherwise due for the tax period. If the credit allowed under division (B) or (D) of this section exceeds the tax otherwise due, the excess may be carried forward to the extent authorized by section 122.171 of the Revised Code.

If a taxpayer is authorized to claim credits under division (A) and either or both of divisions (B) and (D) of this section for the same tax period, the taxpayer shall claim the credit allowed under division (B) or (D) before the credit allowed under division (A) of this section.
