You mentioned a W-2. If you are a W-2 employee then you cannot deduct any home office expenses or other job-related expenses. The tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond eliminated job-related expenses as a deduction on federal returns for W-2 employees. The state laws may be different in various states so the tax software still lets you enter that information--and it flows to the state return.

If you are a W-2 employee your employer should withhold federal and state tax from your pay. If they will not withhold OH tax then you might want to pay estimated quarterly tax to OH.
