You may do so by visiting the Gateway at gateway.ohio.gov and selecting the CAT Cancel Account transaction.

When canceling your account, please enter an effective date of December 31, 2024. If your account is closed as of that date, you will not be required to file a return for the 1^st quarter of 2025.
