Turbo tax qustion...Did either of you make money in any other states? im a over the road truck driver out of nebraska and live in ohio dont know how to answer this questi

An OTR driver is taxed in his home state.  The answer to the question would be no, as you would only owe state tax to OH.

I agree that driving in multiple state does not require a tax return from each state.  However, does that apply if he lives is one state (Ohio), but his main place of work (Tax Home) is another state (Nebraska)?  I haven't looked at the rules, but I would THINK it would all be applied to the state that he 'works out of' (Tax Home, Nebraska).  *IF* that is the case, he would need to file both a Ohio and Nebraska return.

There is a statute known as the Amtrak Act (Amtrak Reauthorization and Improvement Act of 1990, Public Law 101-322) that provides that if a motor carrier employee provides regularly assigned duties in two or more states he shall only be taxed in the state of residence.  The act specifically refers to "residence" not "Tax Home."
