State tax filing

For 2021 you will have to file a tax return in Ohio to account for the income reported to that state. You can talk to your employer about suspending withholdings going forward.  

 

Sometimes your wages are taxable even though you don't work in the state, especially if you are working from home at the convenience of your employer. This has come about due to Covid in many instances. Employers make you work from home, and even if that is in another state, you still get taxed in the state where you would normally being working. It can apply on the city and local level as well.

 

If your W-2 lists wages taxable in a state, the state will assume those wages were earned in the state and it is usually not possible to treat them otherwise without getting an amended W-2.

 

The good news is you can get a credit for those taxes on your resident return where you live. Look for the credit for taxes paid to another state option on your state tax return in TurboTax.
