I had winnings from a casino with form W-2G. It is asking for the name of locality on my return, but it is blank on the W-2G?

No problem.  On the W-2G entry screen, click on the Locality link next to Box 18.  (See Screenshot #1, below.)

You will be given a list of locality codes by state.  If your locality is not listed, or if this payment is for two or more localities use XXX for the code. 


The following information is copied from the TurboTax help content with regard to the locality field on the Form W-2G.  If your locality is not found on this list, enter XXX in the locality field.
