How Ohio nexus works
Ohio sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: effective August 1, 2019, out-of-state sellers have substantial nexus when Ohio gross receipts exceed $100,000 or the seller has at least 200 Ohio transactions in the current or previous calendar year. Ohio marketplace-facilitator rules use the same $100,000-or-200-transaction test, counting the facilitator's own Ohio sales plus sales facilitated for marketplace sellers. Marketplace sellers with Ohio sales through facilitators plus direct channels may need a seller's use tax account once combined Ohio sales exceed the threshold, but collect only on taxable direct sales that are not collected by a facilitator.

Filing frequency
Filing frequency in Ohio depends on your sales tax liability. Higher-volume sellers file monthly; lower-volume sellers typically file quarterly or annually. The state will assign a frequency when you register.
Marketplace facilitator law
Yes, Ohio has a marketplace facilitator law. Sales you make through Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart, and other marketplaces are collected and remitted by the marketplace — you do not need to collect tax on those transactions yourself, though you may still need to register.
