Taxed for a town I didn’t live in

what do i do if my employer taxed me for a town i didn’t live in during the year but they refuse to correct it? when i got rehired i filled out my updated tax forms but my employer used my previous tax forms rather than the updated one and claims they have no record of the updated forms as well

Taxed for a town I didn’t live in

You would need to file a city return for that town and apply for a refund. 

 

There are some localities that tax you if you work there as well as localities that tax residents who live there. 

 

TurboTax only handles certain localities, you may need to do the city tax return as a paper file.

As KrisD15 suggests above, you'll need to file a city return to get a refund of the mistakenly-withheld funds, even though you didn't work or live there. 

 

You may be able to work on the city's tax return in TurboTax. See the Help article Which city tax returns can I do in the TurboTax state program? for more information.
