IT NRC – Ohio Nonresident Credit Calculation

[lvrager]

I live in Ohio full time. I do not understand why Turbo tax is generating an IT NRC – Ohio Nonresident Credit Calculation for me. My wife lives in New York. She only has SS income. I am the Ohio resident. SS income, dividends, and interest income are mine in Ohio Yet, this form is stated as for part time residents and full time nonresidents. 

Please explain.

I reviewed my interview answers, and all seem as stated above.

If you file your federal return as Married Filing jointly (MFJ), Ohio requires you do file your state return as MFJ.  You can do that even though your spouse is shown as a non-resident.  This will result in form    IT NRC being generated.
