Military Stationed in OH but my home of record is California. Why do I owe California Money?

I am currently in the Military stationed in OH but my home of record and where I file state tax returns is CA. On the W2, Item 17, Sate Income tax it shows no amount but on my LES (monthly income statement) it clearly shows me paying taxes to California. I am married and filing jointly but my wife works in Ohio but is also resident of California. (We submit an IT10 showing we pay taxes in CA).  So if I am paying taxes to California every month which shows on my LES but it doesn't show up on line 17 of the W2 why would I owe the state of CA 380.00? (My state wages in line 16 are there and correct).
