How to enter W-2 wages for Ohio RITA when only part-year is reportable/taxable to them?

W-2 wages for 5 months, but only 3 of them are reportable to OH RITA.  Should it just be split on federal entry for W-2 even though only one lump sum amount is shown?  Or, on page 1,  just over-ride a line and show as negative wages and withholding for non-RITA portion to make the adjustment?  RITA is not the workplace city in this situation...

If you put in the move dates and also the W2 wage dates it should automatically calculate for you.

Not seeing that happen....

Page 1 you checked the box for residency status and # of times moved with the dates and addresses?

That usually works for me.  If it doesn't you can override because it can't be efiled anyways

Yup.   Marked "part-year" resident. Times moved:  one.

So, right now, I'm showing the W-2 wages (first year with this company)  as fully reported from 8/1 thru 10/31.

From 11/1 thru 12/31, taxpayer no longer in the district. I added another negative line to back out the last two months of W-2 wages as I allocated/prorated it for that period of time...

Sometimes it's a real pain getting it entered the right way to get it to calculate it correctly.   I've given up once in a while and will do overrides.

Yup.   I know what you mean!   Workarounds to get where you need to be...

Ended up breaking W-2 wages up into two sections on the federal and then marking one as taxable to the city and the other not.   The over-ride was the other option.
