Ohio and Kentucky have a reciprocal agreement. This means that if you live in one of these states but work in the other, you'll only need to file a return for the state in which you live.
Therefore, you'll need to file a Kentucky State Return.
If the only Ohio based income you had was from your employer, then no you do not have to file an Ohio return. Ohio makes an exception to their filing requirement, in this case, if you live in a boarding state.

If Ohio taxes are mistakenly withheld, you have to file an Ohio return to get a refund. You should ask your employer to stop withholding so you don't have to file an Ohio return every year.
However the reciprocity agreement does not apply to local city taxes. You are not required to file a local city return, but you are also not entitled to a refund of the city withholding, unless there was an error in the amount

When you enter OH in box 15 and the info from boxes 18-20, be sure boxes 16 & 17 are blank.
If that doesn't work try leaving box 15 blank, but I suspect TT won't let you do that.
On the other hand, the only thing necessary may be to just say no when asked if you want to do an OH return.

I was actually doing it again this year just because i always had, but it kept prompting me to enter number values on a digital longform tax form without any guidance as to where i was supposed to get those numbers from...
Asked a couple friends in similar situations and they said they don't have to do an ohio one. They go through a cpa though. Not sure why TT doesn't recognize my situation and stop prompting me to do them every year.
Anyway its done now! Thanks again.

How did you account for the income you made in OH but didnt pay KY taxes on? Did you owe KY state taxes?

@Scarli07 —. If you’re a resident of KY, ALL your income is taxable by KY, including any income earned in another state.
