From the School District Income Tax website:   Ohio has two different types of taxing school districts, traditional and earned income. You can find out your school district’s tax type by using The Finder.   Traditional: This method uses the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) minus the exemption deduction to determine your taxable income. Retirement income may be taxable under this method.   Earned Income: This method taxes employee wages earned plus net earnings received from self-employment that are included in the MAGI. Retirement income is not taxable under this method.   For more information on MAGI, see the FAQ Income- General Information, under the question, “What is Modified Adjusted Gross Income?”

This is still not working for me.  I continue to be unable to add new assets, I do have the most current update to Turbo Tax  2025 Home & Business:  025.000.0247 is the version.  I'm attempting to use the Step by Step feature instead of entering the new assets using the forms.  I generally find that Step by Step walks me through everything that is needed but it is not for this case.  Any updates or suggestions are appreciated.
