Assuming your only MI-source income is your wife's W-2 wages:
When you do the MI non-resident return, enter zero as the MI income. That will result in a full refund of the incorrectly withheld MI taxes.
Your wife should also file Form MI-W4 with her employer, indicating that she is exempt from MI withholding because she is a resident of Ohio, a reciprocal state. Here's a link to the form: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/taxes/MI-W4_370050_7.pdf

Because Michigan and Ohio have state tax reciprocity, you should be receiving a refund for the taxes paid to Michigan.
Make sure you are reporting your residency as you home in Ohio.
She may owe city taxes which are not covered by the reciprocity agreement, but she doesn't owe state taxes to MI.
You need to complete the Michigan Non-Resident Income Tax return before the Ohio Resident Income Tax return to ensure you receive credit for the taxes paid to the other state.
