Do I need to file a non-resident Ohio return?

 I am a resident of Oklahoma, and I received a W2G from Ohio, and federal, state, and local taxes were withheld. I perused faq's here, the Ohio tax website, and I did not see an answer that specifically pertained to this situation?

Do I need to file a non-resident Ohio return?

Yes, you have to file an OHio state return because you have OHio source income.  You do not have to file a City (local) return. You cannot get any local withholding refunded.

Who Must File an Ohio Income Tax Return?

 Every Ohio resident and every part-year resident is subject to the Ohio income tax. Every nonresident having Ohio-sourced income must also file.

 Examples of Ohio sourced income include the following: 

  •  Wages or other compensation earned in Ohio (see "Exception" below);
  •   Ohio lottery winnings;
  •   Ohio casino gaming winnings; 
  •  Income or gain from Ohio property; 
  •  Income or gain from a sole proprietorship doing business in Ohio;
  •  Income or gain from a pass-through entity doing business in Ohio.
