Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
If you physically work in Louisiana, file a nonresident Louisiana return (tax rate: Flat 3.0%). 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. Unemployment applies to the first $7,700 of wages.
City & Local Income Taxes (Extra Filings Beyond the State Return)
None for nonresidents.
