OHIO INSURANCE AGENTS WITH BACK TAXES OWED RISK LOSING THEIR LICENSES

According to the Ohio Revised Code, the Director of the Department of Insurance may suspend, revoke or refuse to issue an insurance license, assess a civil penalty, or impose other sanctions, if an agent or agency fails to comply with any official invoice, notice, assessment, or order directing payment of federal, state, or local income tax, state or local sales tax or worker's compensation premiums.

Ohio recently passed a new licensing law requiring  insurance agents to renew their licenses every two years.  During the next 18 months, the Department will review renewal applications to make sure agents are in compliance.  If an agent has an outstanding judgment lien filed against them ortheir organization, the Department will take administrative action against the agent's license.
