California resident client received w2 with California wages and withholding and Ohio state wages and withholding. Employer error. Can this error be easily fixed or should the client contact the employer to fix W2. Never worked in Ohio during 2022.

Your client should speak with the employer in the first instance and see whether they are able to issue a W-2C with the SIT refunded.  However, it's most likely too late for the employer to "move" any such SIT now.  Failing which, your client should file an NR return to claim a refund.

I'm always amazed how people could go through the entire year and more not noticing at all that they have wages reported and SIT/LIT withheld to the wrong states!
