Contact period (Ohio)

Ohio-specific residency unit: a portion of two consecutive days during which you were in Ohio overnight.

Ohio uses 'contact periods' instead of days for its bright-line residency test. A contact period is any portion of two consecutive days during which you were in Ohio overnight. To establish irrebuttable non-residency in Ohio, you need fewer than 213 contact periods in the tax year and a filed Form IT NRS declaring non-Ohio domicile.
