How do I get my entire refund for state income tax?

In the personal info part of the Federal  section, indicate that you are military. That will trigger a question in the Ohio program  to re-enter your military pay as a deduction. The deduction goes on line 24 of schedule A.

The deduction is only available for members stationed outside Ohio. For example, if you are an airman at Wright Patt, you will not get the deduction.

Only military pay is exempt. Other income (e.g. interest or side job) is taxed.
