State tax filing

No.  According to the OH Department of Taxation

You do not have to file an Ohio income tax return if:

  • Your Ohio adjusted gross income (line 3) is less than or equal to $0.
  • The total of your senior citizen credit, lump sum distribution credit and joint filing credit (Ohio Schedule of Credits, lines 4, 5 and 12) is equal to or exceeds your income tax liability (Ohio IT 1040, line 8c) and you are not liable for school district income tax. 
  • your exemption amount (Ohio IT 1040, line 4) is the same as or more than your Ohio adjusted gross income (line 3) and you have no Ohio Schedule A adjustments.

NOTE: IF your federal adjusted gross income is greater than $13,200, the Department recommends
that you file an Ohio IT 1040 or IT 10, even if you do not owe any tax, to avoid delinquency billings.
