Gahanna.
You normally only have to
file a return in the city you live in. It is not necessary to file one in the
city you work in, if different. Your employer will remit withholding to the
city you work in, but you do not file a return unless you're claiming a refund or your employer didn't
withhold enough ( both highly unusual). The city you live in will allow a
credit or partial credit for the withheld tax you paid to the work location
city. Gahanna allows an 83.33% credit, but not more than the 1.5% tax. Since the Grandview Heights rate is 2.5%, you should not owe anything to Gahanna (0.833 x 2.5 = 2.08 > 1.5). But, you still have to file a Gahanna (RITA) return.
TurboTax (TT) does not automatically prepare a city return, you must initiate it. At
the screen, in the Ohio program, titled
"A few things before we wrap up your
state taxes"
scroll down
to Ohio City taxes.
Or, later
"Your 2014 Ohio Taxes are ready for us to

taxes.
TT cannot e-file an Ohio City or RITA return. It must be printed and mailed.
I actually find it easier
to fill out a city return by hand or at the city, CCA or RITA web site, than to use TT. Things don't happen
automatically and you need to know what you’re doing. The actual RITA/city forms are easier to follow than the
TT interview.http://www.ritaohio.com/
