IN county tax incorrectly calculated

While working on my state taxes, TurboTax calculated a county tax less than what I paid and I cannot find a location to update the amount. (The county is correct, TIPPC C, Tippecanoe.)
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

IN county tax incorrectly calculated

Indiana subtracts personal exemptions from income so your total income will be less than what is reported on your W-2.

 

That may be the difference. Your county tax is computed on Schedule CT-40.

If you are trying to correct the amount you paid in local taxes then please go back to your W-2 to make a correction with your entry:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “W-2” 
  2. Click on “Jump to W-2”

 

Please see County Income Tax Rates for additional information.

*Edit: I cannot find any errors that I've made or any reason for the difference.
Thank you for the directions to find my W2 quickly! The county tax in Box 19 of the W2 has the correct amount listed though. I'll work through this all again- maybe I mis-marked another entry.

TurboTax automatically calculates the amount of county tax due based on the county info you enter in Indiana.

 

It’s possible your employer withheld the wrong amount.

 

And as awesome Tax Expert @DanaB27, check the amount of county tax you entered in TurboTax to make sure it matches your W-2.

 

The rate of Tippecanoe is 1.28%.

Thank you- I don't find it unlikely that my employer took the wrong amount out (although that amount is 1.28%...) I did look at my W2 and the amount in Box 19 is different than what TurboTax calculated (which appears to be 1.21%.)  
I really do appreciate the help- I think I'm just going to take the loss here... This has become more and more frustrating the longer I try and figure out what can be the issue.
