I have lived in an Ohio school district that requires additional tax. It appears on my W2 that I had an amount withheld for this tax. Box 20 on one version of my W2 has the district in box 20 and an amount in box 19. I also have a W2 version with the city I live in with a different amount withheld (which is what was entered with W2 info for the 1099). If I am seeing a version of the W2 that includes this information, does that mean I had withheld some coverage of the tax? If that is accurate, how can I ensure I am accounting for the amount that appears to be withheld for the school district within the software?

After further looking, it appears that I have 3 different versions of my W2 (two pages of W2s from one employer). One says "Total City" in box 20 with withheld tax in box 19. Another version has the city I live in (and work in) in box 20 with an amount withheld in box 19. The third version has my school district number in box 20 and a different amount in box 19. The box 19 amounts in the city version and the school district version add up to box 19 in the Total City version. It, therefore, appears that there was withholding for both the city I live in (and work in) and for the school district. I am not sure which version to use for my federal returns as they all have different info in box 20 and 19. I am assuming I use the Total City version to input but not sure how that then gets broken out for form SD100. Thanks again.
@acicola You're going to use the whole thing for federal so that it will carry over to your state and local returns. When you enter your W-2 it will give you an option for 'state' and even allow you to enter extra states if your employer with held taxes for you in multiple states. And then it has a set of boxes for 'Local Taxes'. The first set of these boxes is your city then click the 'Add another locality' button and enter the info for your school district. The total of these should add up to the 'Your Total City' amount on the one copy you have and everything should be good.
