I live in Massachusetts and worked in Obetz, Ohio. My W2 has Ohio withheld, Ma withheld and Obetz withheld. I filed Fed, Ma and Ohio taxed (2017) and will get refund for Ohio tax. What should I do about the Obetz tax withheld? I used Turbo Premier online. Thanks

You cannot get Ohio City tax refunded. Any Ohio city, with an income tax, is allowed to have withholding taken out of your pay while you worked in that city. Your employer is required to do that withholding. You can't get a refund unless it was improperly withheld, i.e. you didn't actually work there for all or part of the time that your employer was withholding.
Apparently, MA (some state do) does not allow a credit for city taxes paid. Reference: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/learn-about-the-income-tax-paid-to-another-jurisdiction-credit
