Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Although all my work is done in my home state of Ohio, TT allows that I must also file a state return in the state my employer is based. Is this correct?

No, in most (almost all) cases. 

Two possible things may have triggered TurboTax (TT)  to do that: 1). a different state is in box 15 of your W-2. 2). In the personal info section, when it asks if you made money in another state, answer NO. This will prevent TurboTax from thinking you need to file an OH return.
