On my Return for Ohio, Turbo Tax shows that I earned $106,000 but my W2-for Ohio show only $8,871. Why the discrepancy? Marc

Go back through the W-2 entries in the Federal tax area and look at State income reported.  You might have a decimal place or comma off.

Box 16 pay attention to on the W-2, state wages

I am a non resident Ohio. Turbo taxshows 22000 earned income in Ohio, while I worked there fkr 3 mos, as local taxes and zero earned as state income. Yet Turbo Tax is reporting that I earned 88000 state income in Ohio. I don't get it.Any help will be appreciated

That's how it's supposed to work. 

States compute nonresident income tax different ways. In Ohio, your tax is calculated based on your total income, and then you receive a credit against the tax, based on your non-Ohio income.

According to How do I calculate my nonresident credit? on the Ohio Department of Taxation's Income - Ohio Residency and Residency Credits page:

A nonresident taxpayer is allowed a “nonresident” credit for all income not earned or received in Ohio. The credit is calculated on the Ohio Schedule of Credits using the taxpayer’s non-Ohio portion of their Ohio adjusted gross income. Taxpayers must use form IT NRC to calculate the non-Ohio portion of their Ohio adjusted gross income.
