For calendar year 2012, the applicable look-back period is July 2010 through June 2011. The filing status for the calendar year (2012) is determined by the combined amount of Ohio and school district tax liability during the 2010-2011 “look-back period.” A new business will default to a quarterly filing status because there was no withholding liability during the look-back period.
