I earned wages in Ohio only but I am getting a message: "Returns with Income tax withholding but no state wages reported on the same form." Why?

Look at your W-2 screen in TurboTax. If there is an entry in box 17, there must be an entry in box 16. If your employer left it off (not uncommon), you may enter the  box 1 amount in box 16 (unless you worked in more than 1 state for that employer).
