There is a "flaw" in the Turbo Tax program when it comes to RITA. When calculating the tax owed, Turbo Tax looks at Box 19 and calculates the tax based on the Local Wages. However, RITA looks at boxes 3, 5, 16, and 18 and will select the highest amount to compute the tax owed. Typically, boxes 3, 5, and 18 will be the same, but in some instances, they are not. Turbo Tax needs to tweak the programming to look at the highest amount.
