State tax filing

The Idaho tax website is specific with regard to compensation (income reported on a W-2 is compensation):

 

"Work only outside Idaho during the year: You have no Idaho compensation."

Idaho Source Income | Idaho State Tax Commission

 

The bonus is definitely taxable by Ohio, since you received it while a resident of Ohio.  It seems to me that it is not taxable by Idaho, since by Idaho's own criteria it is not Idaho compensation.  I think this would particularly be true if no Idaho taxes were withheld on the W-2 that reported the compensation.
