If there is no local tax withheld on your Form W-2G, just leave boxes 16, 17 and 18 blank. That is completely blank, no xx, no zeroes.
If you do have an amount greater than $0 in box 17 and the locality is not named, you need to contact the issuer of your W-2G to get the name of the locality.
To go back and fix this:
- Select Federal on the left side menu.
- Select Wages & Income.
- Scroll down to Less Common Income, expand the section and select Gambling Winnings.
- Select Start or Revisit to the right.
- Select Review to the right of your W-2G, or answer Yes, if you haven't entered it yet.
- Scroll to the bottom and clear boxes 16, 17 and 18.
