What we'll cover

Why is this important?

OnPay works with government entities on your behalf, reporting new hires to state labor departments, calculating tax rates, paying taxes and insurance contributions, and filing financial reports. To do this effectively, you will need to authorize us to act on your behalf with tax offices for each state where your company has a tax obligation.

For example, if you operate in both Ohio and Michigan, you must complete and return a power of attorney for both states.

 

Department of Taxation

Third-Party Access (TPA) for the Ohio Department of Taxation

To file your Ohio municipal and withholding taxes, you’ll need to grant OnPay third-party access to your Ohio Business Gateway account. To do this:

  1. Log in to the Ohio Business Gateway
  2. Access the “Account Access Management” page by clicking the “Lock” button in the top right-hand corner of the Gateway.
  3. Go to the “Account Access Requests” tab.
  4. Under "Requests for Account Access," locate the request from Stephanie Mendez, then click the grey check mark under "ACTIONS." (IMPORTANT: Approve only the request for FILING ADMINISTRATOR, not "Filer")
  5. Click the blue "Confirm" button.
  6. Please reply to the previous email informing OnPay that the request has been approved.
