My husband and I are filing jointly. His wags are taxable in the city he works. Mine are not. How do I exclude my wages?

Your husband's W-2 should show the amount of Local Wages in Box 18 applicable to any Local Tax in Box 19. 

 

If not, you can enter the amount of Local Wages on your W-2 entry in your Federal Return.

 

TurboTax will pick up the amount of Local Wages and Local Tax on your City Tax Return.

 

You will still need to print and mail your Local Tax Return. Or, you may be able file directly through your City's website if you skip this in your TurboTax State return.
