Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you entering a W-2 or a W-2G @danada134?    I just tested both and neither are showing errors.   

 

On a W-2, Box 20 is the name of the locality that is assessing the tax.   If you have an amount in box 18 (Local wages & tips) or box 19 (Local income tax), then you need to enter the locality name in box 20.     

 

On a W-2G, Box 18 is the name of the locality.    If you have an amount in box 16 (Local winnings) or box 17 (Local income tax withheld), then you need to enter the locality name in box 18.
