If my husband is a service member and we are both residents of OH how do I get KY state tax back if it was accidentally taken all year while living in MS?

KY took income tax out of my check because I forgot to change my address with my employer. I tried to file with TurboTax but KY rejected my nonresident return saying a W2 with KY wages was filed but not showing on Form 740-NP, Section B, line 1, column b.

Because you are Ohio residents, your Kentucky income should be 0 (because Ohio and Kentucky are reciprocal states)/ In the Kentucky state section of TurboTax, be sure you allocated 0 for Kentucky wages (see below).

Thank you for the reply. On the return KY rejected I did just that as shown in the picture. Is there anything else I should check?

If you could get a diagnostic copy of the return and enter the token number here I can look at it.

The diagnostic copy wipes out all personal information and just send us the numbers.

Click on tax tools in the left menu bar, then Tools, then share my file with an agent, which will create a diagnostic copy. Reply to this post and someone will be able to get more information for you. Thanks!

This doesn't sound like a reciprocal state situation. What are the circumstances of an OH military spouse, living in MS and having KY state tax withheld? "Failing to change your address" doesn't make sense (it indicates it was previously OK to withhold KY tax). It sounds like you need to be talking to the KY tax dept. people that rejected your return.

Prior to my marriage to the service member I was a KY resident which is why KY taxes were being taken out. Once I married I immediately took my service members state of residence of OH and moved to his duty station in MS. A lot was going on with marriage and moving and since everyone has been working remote (and I didn't change my last name) nothing changed with my work situation which is why I forgot to inform them of my change in state residency and KY taxes were taken all year.

I solved it. I was filing the 740-NP, but should have filed the 740-NP-R.
