State tax return living in one state and working in another. Never done a kentucky state return but turbo tax wants us too. Do I need too?

Seems like there should be a way to get the Kentucky taxes back since we live in Indiana.  Only ever filed a Indiana state return and wondering if there is a credit im missing or something.  Would think i should get the kentucky local taxes back as a credit on my indiana return.  We are a reciprocal state to kentucky.

You are correct on all counts.  If you had Kentucky state tax taken out, then you need to file a KY nonresident reciprocal return to get all of those back.  Also, make sure the correct form is filled out for the KY employer so they stop taking out KY taxes.  (FAQ at end of answer)

If KY state taxes were not taken out, you won't need to file a a KY state return.  But you still will be able to claim the KY local taxes on the Indiana return.  I'll provide you with some screenshots to show where you enter this in TurboTax. (You'll need both of these entries to get the credit)
