Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
If you physically work in Iowa, file a nonresident Iowa return (tax rate: Flat 3.8%). Then file your Ohio return and claim the Ohio IT 1040 Schedule of Credits credit so you don't get taxed twice on the same income.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
Register for withholding and unemployment from day 1. Unemployment applies to the first $38,200 of wages.
City & Local Income Taxes (Extra Filings Beyond the State Return)
None for nonresidents. Iowa school district taxes are residence-based only.
