Yes, you put total amount of your net business income.  If you did not deduct any business expenses, from the 1099-misc amount; then that is the amount of your small business deduction (SBD).

Essentially, Ohio does not tax small business income, under $250,000.

I was wondering if you or someone can follow up on this message, as I'm in a similar situation. I am an independent contractor with my income reported on a 1099-misc, but I do not have an LLC or have a business registered in any way. I'm just me. The Ohio tax forms require me to report the 'entity' ie business name of the business I run. Do I just put my name there or 'not applicable' or 'independent contractor'? Or by not having a business that I push my income through does this make me ineligible to claim the small business deduction? (until/unless I register a business that I pass my income through)

Thanks!

You just put your name there as the business name, the same as you do on federal Schedule C. The fact that you have a 1099-Misc, with income in box 7 and report that income on federal Schedule C makes you eligible for the Ohio BID (business income deduction)
