State tax filing
I see you have desktop software (rather than online). You can make the changes directly on the form.
That said, if the income items are in the wrong place, you entered them in the wrong place, in the interview. The interview is a little tricky. Sometimes it asks for Ohio income and other times for non-Ohio. Wages had not entered in the interview, but from the W-2
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ohio does a convoluted tax calculation for non-residents/part year residents. It calculates tax on total income, then it calculates a non resident/part year resident credit, which it subtracts from the tax it calculated on the total income. The credit is calculated as your non-Ohio income divided by Total adjusted Income multiplied by the total tax. TurboTax (TT) does this by allocating your income as either Ohio or non-Ohio. W-2 income will be allocated by the state name abbreviation shown in box 15 of your W-2. TT will ask you, item by item, in the state section, how much of your other income is Ohio or non-Ohio income. Make sure that your non-Ohio wages show GA (Other state postal abbreviation) in box 15 of your W-2 screen, with the GA amount in box 16.
