State tax filing

Your W-2 is correct.

The state of Kentucky has a reciprocal agreement with Indiana, allowing Indiana residents who work in Kentucky to be taxed only in their state of residence. You needed to file the appropriate form with your employer, and apparently, you did. This is the relevant section of their instructions:

Reciprocal States—Kentucky has reciprocal agreements with specific states. These agreements provide for taxpayers to be taxed by their state of residence, and not the state where income is earned. Reciprocity does not apply to persons who live in Kentucky for more than 183 days during the tax year. The states and types of exemptions are as follows:

Illinois, West Virginia—wages and salaries

Indiana—wages, salaries and commissions

Michigan, Wisconsin—income from personal services (including salaries and wages)

Ohio—wages and salaries. Note: Wages which an S corporation pays to a shareholder-employee if the share- holder-employee is a “twenty (20) percent or greater” direct or indirect equity investor in the S corporation shall not be exempt under the reciprocity agreement.

Virginia—commuting daily, salaries and wages

Taxpayers who qualify for this exemption and have no other Kentucky taxable income should le Form 740-NP-R, Kentucky Income Tax Return, Nonresident–Reciprocal State, to obtain a refund. Also, nonresidents who qualify for the exemption should le Form 42A809, Certificate of Nonresidence, with their employer to exempt their future wages from Kentucky withholding.
