Received two W-2s from my company for the year (one for Ohio, Jan - March, and one for New York, April - December) although lived in New York the entire year. No taxes were withheld for Ohio, and taxes were withheld for New York April through December.

How do I handle this? Do I have to file with Ohio at all? Do I file with New York, listing both W-2s, and just expect I will owe them some money for the first part of the year, when none was being withheld? Please advise!

Ohio has NO legal standing to tax your income.

Contact your payroll department to find out if Ohio taxes were withheld and paid to Ohio nder your SSN. If so, you will have to file an Ohio return to recover those taxes. You will need to attach a copy of the NY state return to show the Ohio state tax authorities that you are paying NY state taxes on all of the W-2 wages.

BTW, even if NO taxes were paid to Ohio, if the W-2 was sent to Ohio, you need to file an Ohio return to account for that W-2.
