For my small business-after I recd my EIN number I eventually recd a tax form booklet from the state. This statement booklet had forms to fill in regarding taxable income from Jan-Jun and July to December. The booklet specifically states that even though I did not make money in the second half-I still need to record my taxable income as o and mail it in. I live in Ohio if in doubt-do you have some type of accountant?
