is there an amount greater than 0 in local withholding? if so, then it seems that whoever prepared the W-2 left off important information like locality(not sure if this is blank or not) and local wages. You may need to contact the source for a corrected W-2. On the other hand, if local withholding is zero, then locality, local wages and local withholding should all be blank.   

@buzz5  asked:  "how can i pay for the turbo tax fee for my federal return before i complete the state return?"   So you only want to pay for the Federal now?   If you have both Federal and state returns, and don't want to pay for both, then in order to pay and efile just the Federal return by itself, you'd have to delete the state return.   You can later add the state return back and pay for it when efiling the state return.   See if these 2 FAQs help:   FAQ:  Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/file-federal-taxes-skip-state-later/L2yn7gkmi_US_en_US   FAQ:  How do I delete my state return in Online TurboTax? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/delete-state-return-turbotax-online/L8v9awRbh_US_en_US

Here's how to get a review copy of your return prior to filing:   With your return interview open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then subtab PRINT CENTER. Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return." The next screen should offer some options:  "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"  The latter has the most pages. NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
