Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You could check with your employer to determine whether one of the duplicate localities is incorrect; otherwise, you can add the values for the same box together if you have more than one line with the same locality name in Box 20.

 

The entry in W-2, Box 20, is the name of the locality responsible for assessing your local income tax. It could be a city, town, school district, or something else. Depending on where you live, you may even have more than one. If you do, just add a new row to enter info for another locality.

 

There should only be one Box 20 entry per locality.  All of the wages taxed by one locality on one W-2 should be on a single line.
