At the W-2 screen, enter the amounts in boxes 18 and 19 (not underneath the boxes) and the school district (SD) name or number in box 20. Enter the SD name/number in this format: SD#### (using your school district number).

There is a Local Taxes section at the bottom of the W-2 input screen, just below the State taxes section. To edit your w-2:

Click Federal
Hoover your cursor over Wages & Income
Select Wages and Salaries (W-2)
Under Your Income, click Edit/Add and then select your your W-2 to edit.
