Help, TP is a resident of IN, but goes to school and works in OH (non-resident), how can I get the tax paid to OH to flow into IN (or credited)?

Thanks

It won't automatically flow as it was remitted to OH, as I understand it.  There is reciprocity but that just means that the OH employer withholds for and remits to IN.  If the tax is withheld and remitted to OH, the taxpayer must pay IN and file a non-resident return with OH and include Form 2023 (I think) allocating all earnings to IN and await the refund.  If the employer is really small, this is not required and even some larger employers will not do it but most do.  Yes, a pain.  The taxpayer must take it up with OH employer.
