lived in FL (no state tax) until October then moved to Oh so I only pay state taxes on my Ohio income right? or do I have to pay state taxes on my income for the whole year?

You will allocate (separate) your state income by where you were a resident when you earned it. If you moved to a different state in October, you only pay state taxes on the income you earned in that state not my entire income for the year.

Correct, you will file a Part year Ohio resident tax return and report only the income you earned while you were an Ohio resident for 2025. You do not have to pay state taxes on your income for the whole year- but Ohio uses your total income for the year to determine your rate, then applies that rate to the Ohio- only income.

Be advised that Ohio does a convoluted tax calculation for non-residents/part year residents. It calculates tax on total income, then it calculates a non resident/part year resident credit, which it subtracts from the tax it calculated on the total income. The credit is calculated as your non-Ohio income divided by Total adjusted Income multiplied by the total tax. TurboTax (TT) does this by allocating your income as either Ohio or non-Ohio. TT will ask you, item by item, in the state section, how much of your other income is Ohio or non-Ohio income.
