What is the Ohio economic nexus threshold in 2026?

For 2026, Ohio's economic nexus threshold is $100,000 in gross sales OR 200 transactions, in effect since 2019-08-01. Remote sellers measure Ohio-sourced gross sales (typically over a rolling 12 months or the prior calendar year, depending on state rules) against this number to decide when registration begins.

Gross sales of tangible personal property and most services into Ohio, including resale transactions in some states. Marketplace-facilitated sales are typically excluded; check the specific rule.

How often is the Ohio threshold recalculated?

Ohio Sales Tax Economic Nexus Threshold (2026)

Updated 2026-06-03

If your Thresholds business sells $100,000 or 200 transactions into Ohio in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit Ohio sales tax.

Ohio's economic nexus threshold, in detail

The current Ohio threshold is $100,000 or 200 transactions, in effect since 2019-08-01.

What counts toward the threshold: gross sales of tangible personal property AND most services delivered to Ohio customers. Resale sales may count in some states. Marketplace-facilitated sales typically do NOT count. Check the state's specific definitions before computing.

Counting periods

Most states apply the threshold on a rolling 12-month basis — look at the prior 12 months as of the end of each month. Some states look at the prior calendar year specifically. Ohio's rule is stated in its regulations; your registration must begin no later than the first day of the month after you cross, unless the state allows a grace period.

Common threshold-tracking mistakes

Measuring by calendar year only, missing when a rolling 12-month window would have triggered earlier.
Including tax in “gross sales”. The threshold uses pre-tax revenue; double-counting tax in the threshold figure can prematurely trigger registration.
Forgetting that the threshold resets — falling below in a subsequent year doesn't automatically deregister you. You must request deregistration through the Ohio DOR.

Ohio nexus note

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.
