Can I file a Blue Ash City tax return thru TurboTax?

[thurgr]

I have a W-2 for Blue Ash in OH. Doesn't look like it is part of the OH return. Do I need to paper file this with Blue Ash directly? Thank you

No. Blue Ash not a member of either CCA or RITA regional tax agencies (the only ones TurboTax can do).

For forms and filing instructions, see the city web site: http://www.blueash.com/departments/tax_office/index.php

 You normally only have to file a return in the city you live in. It is not necessary to file one in the city you work in, if different. Your employer will remit withholding to the city you work in, but you do not file a return unless you're claiming a refund or your employer didn't withhold enough ( both highly unusual). The city you live in will allow a credit or partial credit for the withheld tax you paid to the work location city. 

If you have city witholding, on your W-2 (box 19), it is more likely your work city.
