Remove Ohio joint filing credit?

[egrantaz]

My husband lives in North Carolina but earned income in Ohio.  His company sent him a W-2 for Ohio and other states.  I (his spouse) did NOT earn any Ohio income. Turbo Tax is applying the joint filing credit to the Ohio tax return but we do not qualify.  We are filing jointly for our federal return.  How do I remove the credit since according to the description it does not apply.

You do not need to remove it. You are eligible. The Joint Filing credit (JFC) is applied to your total income, not just your Ohio income. Therefor it reduces your gross Ohio tax before the non-resident credit is applied.
