On Ohio state return, there was no prompt for % AGI that was Ohio Business income (which is fully deductible from Ohio tax). Should I just go to the form and force that?

On the Ohio tax return (turbotax desktop), I have W-2 income and 1099-NEC income. On the Ohio Step-by-step, it doesn't ask about my business income, so I never get prompted for business income (or credits). Since Ohio business income is deductible from Ohio taxes, I'm over-paying.

I could go to the form and force the numbers in, but not sure if there's just a bug or not.

You cannot go to the forms in the online versions of TT.

TT Ohio software will automatically generate the Business Income Deduction (BID) if the federal section generates Schedule C for the 1099-NEC income.

I'm using TT desktop Deluxe (not online) and it is working correctly here. I can't verify if there's an online bug, but there is no major change from last year in the BID.

Verify that Schedule C was generated (you may have to upgrade to TT Self Employed).

Thanks - I'm using the desktop version, and there's a Federal Schedule C with income and expenses for our LLC. Maybe something was messed up when I transferred last years return in or something. The only difference is this year I got a 1099-NEC versus 1099-MISC. I'll just start a new return to see if it fixes things.

On my 2023 form, I'm fairly certain that TurboTax completed the Ohio Business Form by itself.
However, I now see that TurboTax did NOT fill out the OH business form for the 2022 tax year, so now it looks like I need to file an amended form. Not happy about that. This is something that TT needs to fix and be sure is working for us.
PS It looks like I can enter the information on the 2022 form, but I want to double check with TT before I re-file)
