Get your taxes done using TurboTax

On your form W2 box 18 is local income. There should be an amount/entry in box 19 (local tax) and/or 20 (locality) and there should also be an entry in box 18 showing the income that was taxed. 

 

If box 18 is empty enter the same amount as box 16 into box 18 in TurboTax for the form W2.  The amount in box 18 should match what is in box 16 for state income.  The same IN income is taxed by the state and the county just as different rates.   

 

Indiana employers withhold local taxes based on the taxpayer's county of residence or if non-resident based on the county of employment.
