One w-2 form for filing two local city taxes.

mcolombo67 — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 21:01:57 GMT

I work for the same company. I worked in one city for about two months, then the rest of the time I work in another city. I was doing my local taxes and I notice that the Turbo Tax was entering the total Wages in both local city taxes instead of letting us use the local wages earned in each city where I worked and now it tells me that owe more taxes in both cities. This is not right. I am a non-resident of both cities. IS this true or how do I fix this to enter local wages earned in each city instead of total wages.

Thank You

Be sure to add another line for local wages and local taxes when entering your W-2. This should take the wages to the appropriate locality for each.

If you have more questions or need further assistance please add the state and locality you are working with.

My W-2 form has already entered to local wages and local taxes of both cities in turbo tax when I entered the Control Number (imported the w-2 into turbo tax). When I do the two cities tax it automatically enter the Total State Wages and have no way of entering the Local wages. There should be a way to enter the Local wage and not the total State wages when working certain time in each city.

Thank You.

It's excellent that you caught that.

Some imported information can be a challenge.

I suggest you delete the W-2 by clicking the Trash Can on the right of the W-2 and
Post it Manually.

Log into TurboTax.

To enter a W-2 Manually

Under Federal
Click Wages & Income a menu will appear.
Select Job (W-2) [Add/Edit]
[+ Add a new W-2]
If asked identify the person
Enter employer EIN
Scroll to [Change how I enter my form]
[Type it myself]
Post Employer Info
Post your W-2

Hello,

The TurboTax already did the add another line for the local taxes when it entered the w-2 when I entered the control number.
The problem is the when working on the Michigan city taxes where I worked at on city for two months and the other city for the rest of the year. It ask for the Total wages in both cities which is the total I earned in a year and not letting me enter the local wages for one city for two months and the local wages in another city for the rest of the year. That is why I am to taxes for both cities with my total wages for the entire year. That is not right here. Help!

Thank you
