5. If you do, Continue.
6. On Nonresident Reciprocal Return, say YES to Were you a nonresident of Kentucky for the entire year
7. On Select Your Reciprocal State(s) Your resident state should already be checked in the dropdown. If not, put a check beside your resident state

9. You will see Attach Resident State Return. then Continue

When you have multiple state returns, you should generally complete the nonresident state return first - in this case, Kentucky Form 740 NP-R. TurboTax will prepare the form from your entries in the Kentucky interview.

The prompt you saw in the Kentucky interview asking you to attach a copy of your resident (in your case, Ohio) return to your Kentucky return is in case you are mailing in your returns. If you e-file, TurboTax sends one complete package to the IRS and states.

Once you have completed your Federal and State returns, you can preview them to see all of the forms that TurboTax has prepared from your entries. See here for details. 

Enter the information in the following manner to avoid any issues with your filing. 

This error usually originates because of an entry in the Federal section.

1. Go to Federal > Wages & Income.
2. Edit your W-2.
3. Scroll down to Box 15–17 (State Information).
4. Ensure that Kentucky (KY) is listed with the amount of KY tax withheld, but verify the State Wages (Box 16) are also listed.
5. Crucial: Go to the "My Info" (Personal Info) section on the left.
6. Check the question: "Did you make money in another state?"
7. Answer NO. Even though you worked in KY, for reciprocity purposes, the IRS and TurboTax need to see "No" here to stop the software from trying to file a standard 740-NP (Nonresident) return instead of  740-NP-R.

Now, how to handle this in Your kentucky State Return

1. Now, go to the State Taxes tab for Kentucky. 
2. When asked for your residency, select Nonresident.
3. Look for a screen that asks: "Your Recommended Kentucky Form."
4. Do not just click continue. Look for a link or button that says "Select a Different Residency" or "Nonresident Reciprocal State (Form 740-NP-R)."
5. Once you select 740-NP-R, TurboTax will ask: "Were you a nonresident of KY for the entire year?" Answer YES.
6. "Are you reporting ONLY income from salary or wages earned while a resident of Indiana?" Answer YES.
