DanaB27,
Thank you for your response. Both Federal and OH State Personal Info sections properly identify my wife and I's state of residence. I've spent quite a bit of time flipping back and forth between the Step by Step view and the Forms view in TT Premier I'm running on my PC trying to figure this out and I think I know what is wrong. According to the Ohio tax help center website my wife's income is eligible for non-resident credit. Turbo Tax doesn't provide in the step by step question or in the review process a place for this credit. I "think" it should go in line 27 of the Ohio Schedule A "Compensation earned by nonresident military servicemembers and their civilian spouses". Key is "nonresident... civilian spouses". I entered line 1 of my Spouses VA W-2 in here but Turbo Tax review doesn't like it. I have sent a email to Ohio Tax Help on this as well asking what I do. Without my wife's non-residency taken into account after my military pay is subtracted from Federal AGI my OH AGI still has a tax owed amount. I never noticed this issue in Turbo Tax in previous years as it is only in 2020 that my triplets turned 17, I lost their $2k deduction, and it tipped me into the tax owed category. I'm certainly not the only OH resident stationed out of OH who is in this boat using Turbo Tax but I can't find this topic addressed in the FAQs or Community. Any additional help would be appreciated.
