Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It's challenging when employers use the wrong box for certain withholdings. Officially, the unemployment tax withholding should be entered in Box 14. Box 19 is strictly for local income tax. An example is Newark, New Jersey (NJ)  where they do have a local wage tax withholding and unemployment tax.  On the other hand Pennsylvania (PA) has a local tax in every jurisdiction and they also have unemployment tax withheld on all employees.
