Address and tax withholding error between two states I lived in 2024

[makim12]

Hello - sorry in advance for any lack of knowledge. 

INFO:

Moved From Kentucky to Ohio

Employer: Ohio

I have moved to Ohio from Kentucky in 2024 - End of March to be exact. 

When I talked to the employer about the address change - they said I could just change it in the profile in ADP and it would automatically update it. Being dumb, I did that and did not inquire back, and saw misleading information about how this could be corrected during tax filing. Since finding out running into this issue, I have corrected the address and the withholding to my current residence in Ohio. 

When I was doing the filing alone, I was trying to do the partial residence and separated the income to match the earning during the time I lived in each state. Which obviously didn't match the W-2 and cause them to be rejected. I talked to my brother who has more experience in taxes and is saying that there is no way but to just file through Kentucky as reported in W-2? The unfortunate part is that I would have paid about a 1000 dollar more in state income by not changing the address. 

If there is any resource and help that I can get I'd appreciate it.

If your W-2 was issued incorrectly, you should ask your employer to issue you a corrected one. They are required to provide you with a correct Form W-2.

Ohio has a reciprocity agreement with Kentucky. Under a reciprocity agreement, the income earned in these states for Wages and Salaries is taxable to Ohio and should be included on the Ohio return. 

A reciprocal agreement, also called reciprocity, is an agreement between two states that allows residents of one state to request exemption from tax withholding in the other (reciprocal) state. 

This will save you from having to file multiple state returns.

TurboTax handles reciprocal states and will generate the correct state(s) based on your personal information and your Form W-2.
