Ohio use tax
Form what I understand the way internet use for the ebay sales the sales tax is collected by eBay and paid to those states for those sales. I am getting sued by the state of Ohio for $25000+ for the years 2021-current. This whole time which I have tried numerous times every 6 months to file online only with the state of Ohio for those use sales the website either is crashed or does not display any if not partial of the months throughout the fiscal year. I do not sell a whole lot on ebay but have. I have told not only the attorney General but also the taxation department of the online glitches, which neither are unaware and willing to make those changes to their website to come into accordance with what they demand for tax payments. I am willing to be open for a lawyer suggestion and have had my taxes done every year at h&r block by a tax professional which only does regional, state and federal taxes. Any advice would be helpful, I do keep records of all sales to report to h&r block every year, even thou it may be below the $600 a year in sales threshold implemented into effect this 2023 year, which I am below that.

Mentor3 years agoI would contact the OH dept of revenue and ask if you can file paper returns, since you are not able to use their online system. Then you would probably have a small penalty for late filing, but no tax due since eBay started collecting tax for OH in 2019. If they allow it, send by registered mail.
If they can't help, then I would find a local tax attorney - the state might respond better to a legal filing. We can't help you find one.
Good luck.
