Ohio State Tax corrections
For Ohio State Tax corrections, use the 'Other State Corrections' fields. When the W2C Form is created, the updated information will print in the 'State Wages and State Income tax' fields. Ohio doesn't have an option to upload the W2C submission file. The W2C form will need to be sent to Ohio or updated on their site manually.
