Allocating income to Ohio as a nonresident

Hello,

I provided consulting services to a company in Ohio. I received 1099-NEC income. I live in New Jersey. I looked online and saw that I needed to file state taxes in Ohio. However, one of the questions is "Enter the portion of the following income that was allocable to Ohio"? I'm not sure whether it should be $0 (since I live in NJ and never even been to Ohio) or the full amount I received from Ohio.

Would be grateful for any help.

Thanks

Hello.. hoping someone would know the answer to this.

It depends. Based on your information and the Ohio (OH) filing requirements it would seem you do not need to file an OH return. If you business is not physically located in OH, then you are not required to file the OH tax return.

Every Ohio resident and every part-year resident is subject to the Ohio income tax. Every nonresident having Ohio-sourced income must also file.

Examples of Ohio-sourced income include, but are not limited to:

Wages earned in Ohio;
Ohio lottery winnings;
Ohio casino gaming winnings;
Ohio Sports Gaming Winnings;
Income or gain from Ohio property;
Income or gain from a sole proprietorship doing business in Ohio (business is not physically located inside of OH); AND
Income or gain from a pass-through entity doing business in Ohio.

Thanks for the response!
So it sounds like

Because I'm getting some income from Ohio, despite being a nonresident, I still need to file Ohio tax return.
However, because I'm physically not in Ohio (and never travelled there for this work), then the income should be attributed to my state, New Jersey.

Am I correct?
