Can TurboTax accurately file taxes where County Taxes are involved?

I live in Michigan but work in Indiana. The County I work in used to have a resident and nonresident rate. However in 2020 they removed the nonresident rate and require everyone who works in that county to pay the same rate regardless if you live there or not. I spoke to an HR representative who informed me that Michigan gives a credit for those being required to pay county taxes in another state, but Im not seeing this when I type in my information and it says I get nothing, yet HR website says Im entitled to a full refund (I find that hard to believe) so am curious if anyone knows if TT can accurately file with County Taxes involved

Im guessing not

Can TurboTax accurately file taxes where County Taxes are involved?

TurboTax only prepares a few city or local tax returns as an extra step in your state return.  For most local tax returns you are on your own.  Your only record of paying your local tax will be your own bank/credit card records

Its county taxes for Indiana. I dont pay county taxes up here in Michigan. And the lovely service provided by TT says I owe Indiana on top of them raping my income for county taxes. Yeah Im definitely not using TT anymore. I dont even live in Indiana, so I owe Indiana nothing

There was a bug in the Indiana software for some of the county tax rates.

 

You cannot get a credit in you MI tax return, until the Indiana software has been fixed....so that the proper Indiana county tax can be calculated.

_____________________

It may take a few more days (or a week) to correct this, the tax software was overcharging you certain County taxes.

 

...sign up for notification on when it's fixed here:

 

Why am I getting an error for Indiana Schedule IN-W line 26? (intuit.com)

 

_____________________________________________

When it gets fixed in the software, you should run thru your Indiana tax return Q&A again, and then the error checks, and if clear after error checks.

THEN

Go thru the MI Q&A again to go to the MI Credit for taxes paid to the Indiana county, so that the proper county tax is updated....might not change...but until the Indiana software is corrected...the credit might be wrong.
