Hi I have a question.

I moved to Indiana on December 20, 2018 from Ohio where I worked for company A.

I got a new job in January 2019 at company B in Indiana.

I received my final payment from company A on December 31, 2018, however their payroll ended January 11, 2019.

Today I received a W2 for that final pay from company A. As a full year resident of Indiana in 2019, how do I file my state taxes? Ohio obviously withheld taxes due to me living there in 2018. Do I file Indiana full year and Ohio non resident? When I add Ohio W2 into Turbotax my Indiana refund goes to owing, along with Ohio going from $0 to owing as well. I'm a little confused.

Any help is appreciated!

File your 2019 return as a full-year resident of IN.

If you want a refund of the incorrectly withheld OH taxes, you'll also have to file a non-resident OH return, showing zero OH income.

That's sort of where I am confused, they weren't incorrectly withheld. The error is that company A included it on a later 2019 payroll rather than when I received the payment in 2018. If that doesn't matter as I received it while living in Indiana, how do I file showing $0 Ohio income? As in, where in turbotax is that? On the non resident form?
