In an Ohio state return, how to indicate that my income is from active duty military? I should get all my taxes back due to Ohio not taxing military pay.

Other post say that there is a button under "Here's the income that Ohio handles differently." But it is not there.

In an Ohio state return, how to indicate that my income is from active duty military? I should get all my taxes back due to Ohio not taxing military pay.

You will need to go back to your W2 entry under Federal Income, and look for the screen below- You must check you are Active Military Duty here.  Then go back to the Ohio section and you will get the questions to exclude your income.

 

 

Generally, all income earned by Ohio residents is subject to Ohio individual income tax. However, Ohio law allows military servicemembers to deduct on Ohio Schedule A any active duty military pay and allowances that were received while the servicemember was stationed outside of Ohio. Thus, Ohio resident servicemembers stationed outside Ohio are not liable for Ohio income tax on their military pay and allowances.
