Reinstatement {525B}

Form 525B - REINSTATEMENT. This form should be used to apply for reinstatement of (1) a nonprofit corporation whose articles or registration have been canceled for failure to file a statement of continued existence; (2) a limited liability partnership or professional corporation for failure to file a biennial report; or (3) a corporation whose articles have been cancelled by the Ohio Department of Taxation. The corporation or limited liability partnership must provide its name and charter/registration number. No other information is required for a nonprofit corporation reinstating for failure to file a statement of continued existence. A limited liability partnership or professional corporation reinstating for failure to file biennial report(s) must attach all delinquent biennial report(s) and associated filing fee(s) for each delinquent report in addition to the reinstatement filing fee. Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §1776.83, a limited liability partnership must provide the date of cancellation. Also, a limited liability partnership may reinstate within two years after the effective date of the cancellation. After two years, the limited liability partnership must re-file a statement of qualification and cannot reinstate the original entity. When a corporation is canceled for nonpayment of taxes, it can be reinstated after it has cleared its tax obligation with the Ohio Department of Taxation. Once outstanding tax issues are resolved, the tax department will issue the corporation a Certificate of Tax Clearance showing the corporation has no outstanding tax obligations. The Certificate of Tax Clearance must be submitted with this form. After completing all information on the filing form, please make sure that the form is signed by an authorized representative. If the applicant is a domestic nonprofit corporation, the reinstatement form must be signed by an officer, director or three members in good standing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
