Is there anything else I need?

You will need to grant access to your Ohio Business Gateway account to TaxJar.  When you submit your enrollment form, TaxJar will request Third Party Access to your account. You will receive an email from the Ohio Department of Taxation's Business Gateway that "Senica Ambers" has requested access to your account.

We will reach out and let you know when this request has been sent to you, but please note that Ohio enrollment requests will be delayed if this approval is not completed.
