I live in Reynoldsburg Oh. How do I know if my municipal tax was withheld or not? I do not know if I need to file a form 37 or not.

City withholding is shown in box 19 of your W-2, with the name of the city withheld for in box 20.

 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. 

Incidentally, employers are only required to withhold for the work city, although many will voluntarily withhold for the resident city as well. Employees of most big companies, in Ohio, seldom owe any city tax, at tax time (but they still have to file a city return), because the employer holds out exactly the right amount for both work and resident city, taking into account the credit.

Reynoldsburg is a member of RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency), so you can do a city return (form 37) in TurboTax (TT). It cannot be e-file and must be printed and mailed.

Reynoldsburg residents are also subject to a School District Income Tax (SDIT), form SD100.  So, the withholding in your W-2 box 19 could be either SDIT or City income tax (CIT). But, it is most likely CIT for the city you work in.  Box 20 should clarify that.  TT can prepare SD100
