It sounds like the OH Department of Taxation considers you an OH resident. In order to be considered a nonresident, the following should happen.
A nonresident is an individual who was domiciled outside of Ohio for the entire year. An individual will be presumed not to be domiciled in Ohio if an accurate statement of Ohio nonresidency, Form IT NRS, is filed by October 15 of the following year, and attests that her or she:
- Had no more than 212 contact periods with Ohio during the taxable year
- Had an abode outside of Ohio for the entire taxable year, on which depreciation deduction was not claimed
- Did not hold an Ohio driver’s license or identification card at any time during the taxable year
- Did not claim the homestead exemption and/or the owner occupancy property tax reduction for an Ohio property during the taxable year, and
- Did not claim to be an Ohio resident for the purpose of obtaining “in state” tuition at an Ohio institution of higher education.
What you need to do is write a response to the notice explaining why you were not a resident. Following the points above. Sending form IT NRS may be a good idea too.
