Prepare a 2015 Columbus City return, taking into account the city withholding in box 19 of your W-2.

Better yet, take your W-2 and the letter to city hall and let them figure it for you.

Technically, TurboTax cannot prepare a Columbus City return. But, Columbus will accept a CCA form, which TT can do.

TurboTax (TT) does not automatically prepare a city return, you must initiate it. At the screen, in the Ohio program, titled 
 "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes"
      scroll down to Ohio City taxes. 
Or, later
"Your 2015 Ohio Taxes are ready for us to check"
    -Click Other situations
    -Scroll down to Ohio City taxes. 

TT cannot e-file a CCA return. It must be printed and mailed.

But, I actually find it easier to fill out a city return by hand or at the city web site, than to use TT. Things don't happen automatically and you need to know what you’re doing. The actual  city forms are easier to follow than the TT interview.

I am NOT an expert and you should confirm with a tax expert.
