Daughter is a WV resident and worked a summer internship in Ohio where her employer withheld Ohio state taxes. She also had wages from her other job in West Virginia. She had some scholarship income as well. How do we claim a refund from Ohio and file WV taxes?

If she worked in Ohio and is a resident of West Virginia she does not have to pay Ohio income taxes on her wages.   If she works in OH in the future, she can submit exemption Form IT-4NR to her employer so they don't withhold OH tax. 

First, she will report all of her income on a federal return.  Next, she will complete a nonresident tax return for OH.  Nonresidents can claim a credit on Ohio Schedule of Credits, for income not earned or received in Ohio.  TurboTax will guide you through the return.  And lastly, she will complete a resident West Virginia tax return.   

When would I have to file returns in more than one state?

Thank you! So will she get a full refund of the taxes withheld in Ohio? And her Ohio income will be applied to her WV taxes?
