Is there anything in Boxes 18 or 19 on your W-2? If not, just leave Box 20 blank.

Hello, unfortunately I have a number in box 19. Box 18 is empty. And locality name is just a bunch of *******

Yes, I would ignore this and move on. It looks like there may have been either a local school board tax, city tax, or a county income tax that was withheld. You may wish to contact your employer to see what this was and file a local tax return in that jurisdiction to try to get your money refunded back to you.

Meanwhile, I would suggest to leave this Box blank as this information is not critical for filing your federal and state return.
