When you start the Ohio tax return, the program will ask how much of your income is attributed to Ohio. If none, be sure to report zero.

It only appears that Ohio is taxing all your income.

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. W-2 income will be allocated by the state name abbreviation shown in box 15 of your W-2. TT will ask you, item by item, in the state section, how much of your other income is Ohio or non-Ohio income. Make sure that your non-Ohio wages show FL (Other state postal abbreviation)  in box 15 of your W-2 screen, with the FL amount in box 16.

Since FL does not have an income tax, boxes 15-17 may be blank on your actual W-2. At the W-2 screen, in TT, enter FL  in box 15. Put the box 1 amount in box 16 and  0 in box 17.

 

Be advised that you will probably have to use a work around to get TT to prepare the return to get you your refund, if OH is shown in boxes 15-17. At the w-2 screen split the boxes 15-20 W-2 info into 2 lines. On the 1st line leave OH in box 15 but make box 16 blank; leave the OH withholding in box 17. On the 2nd line put your home state abbreviation in box 15 and the state wages amount in box 16; leave box 17 blank.

 

Ohio has a nonresident credit allocation form.. IT NRC

If there is an amount box 19 (City tax), you cannot get that refunded by filing a state return.  Reply back for further instructions.
