1. You will have to file a Pennsylvania tax return with zero income to get the withholding.
2. The exceptions to the penalty are:
- Ohio tax due minus any employer withholding for the current year is $500 or less;
- taxes withheld are at least 90% of the tax due for the current year; OR
- taxes withheld are at least 100% of your previous year tax as shown on your 2023 tax return
There are questions in the Ohio section of TurboTax that ask about the exception if you did not go through that section.
If the penalty still applies, it may be possible to avoid the penalty by filing the nonresident Pennsylvania return with the Pennsylvania income, then see if the credit for taxes paid to another state will cancel the penalty, since you have to file Pennsylvania anyway.
