Typically when the wages are not showing up on the Detroit return then the W2 entries did not include a local line (Boxes 18-20). First, check your copy of your W2. If your form W2 does not have these lines filled in then no Detroit taxes were withheld. If you believe there should have been withholding, then enter your box 1 wages in box 18 leave 19 blank and enter Detroit in box 20. This will put the wages on a Detroit return and give you the options to allocate in the MI state interview.
If your form W2 does have amounts in boxes 18-20 then Return to the W2 topic in the federal interview and verify there is line in the "Local Taxes" area with Michigan as the associated state and amounts in boxes 18 and 19 with Detroit in box 20.
