OH Nonresident and Part Year Resident

This worksheet is used to file the taxpayer's state tax return as a nonresident or part-year resident of Ohio.

Who Must File 
An individual who is a part-year resident of Ohio or received Ohio sourced income during the tax year must file an Ohio income tax return unless of the following circumstances are applicable:

• The taxpayer is single, and the federal adjusted gross income is less than or equal to $11,600, and the taxpayer has no Schedule A adjustments.
• The taxpayer is married filing jointly, and the federal adjusted gross income is less than or equal to $13,200, and the taxpayer has no Schedule A adjustments.
• The taxpayer's only source of income is retirement income that is eligible for the retirement income credit, and the credit is the same or larger than the tax before credits.
• The taxpayer's exemption amount is the same as or more than the Ohio adjusted gross income.

Even if the taxpayer is not required to file a return, the taxpayer must file a return to get a refund of the taxes already withheld.

See the Ohio 2010 Income Tax Booklet for more information and details.

Taxpayer
Select the taxpayer's residency status, either "Nonresident" or "Part-year Resident" from the dropdown list.

If "Nonresident" is applicable, select the state in which the taxpayer resides from the second dropdown list.

If "Part-year" is applicable, enter the dates of residency in the State of Ohio.

Spouse

Monies from this fund may only be used for administrative costs associated with party headquarters and party fund-raising drives, organization of voter registration, and get-out-the vote campaigns not related to any particular candidate or election.

Note: This selection will not reduce any refund or increase the amount of tax due.

Check this box if the taxpayer does need tax forms mailed to his or her mailing address next year.

Requirements
To qualify for this credit, the taxpayer must meet all of the following requirements:

1. The taxpayer must have received retirement benefits, annuities, or distributions that were made from a pension, retirement or profit-sharing plan.
2. The taxpayer must have received this income because he or she retired.
3. The retirement income must have been included in the taxpayer's Ohio adjusted gross income.

Caution: Social Security benefits, Railroad Retirement benefits, and Military Retirement Income do not qualify the taxpayer for this credit.

• Wildlife Species and Conservation of Wildlife
  The Division of Wildlife uses these funds to establish habitat and protect open spaces for wildlife. Past donations have helped to restore populations of endangered species including peregrine falcons, bald eagles, and snowshoe hares. The taxpayer's generous donation will continue to help support Ohio’s native wildlife, a natural treasure!
   
• Nature Preserves and Scenic Rivers
  The taxpayer can help create a rich and lasting legacy for all Ohioans. The taxpayer's generous donation supports the protection of Ohio’s endangered species, as well as preserves high-quality natural areas and streams.

Most people who receive wage or salary income from an employer participate in one or more subsidized plans, and therefore are not participating in an unsubsidized health insurance plan.
