Check a few things in TurboTax.

 

W-2. Check Box 20 on your W-2 (Locality name) to see if 'Detroit' was accidentally coded. 

  1. Remove/change the locality name if 'DET' is entered in error.
  2. If your employer withheld Detroit City tax in error, you will have to file a Detroit return to receive a refund.

Michigan section. Check the Michigan section. There are two places with check boxes where check marks will create a city return. If Detroit is checked, uncheck it.

 

The screens are:

  • Which Cities Did You Live or Work In? and
  • Live or Work in Any of These Cities?
