Never had this happen and not sure how it affects my federal and state

I just now realized when going to "attempt to file" my berkheimer TaxPayer Annual Local Earned Income Tax Return F-1 that one of my ex employers made a mistake in the "Locality Name Box" all 3 jobs I worked in 2024 were in the same area and the number should all be the same.  I already filed my federal and local with TurboTax and am unsure if that mistake has an impact on my refund total.  I'm asking because before I chose to file with claiming a dependent, my refund would have been $800-$900 less then last year.  Please help cause I never had this happen to me while filing taxes, ever.

Follow these steps:

  1. Once the returns you have filed are all processed, you will need to amend them. You will need to enter the correct information in the w2 local section.
  2. While they are processing, see if you can get a corrected w2 from your employer. If not, make a trail to prove what actually happened for where you worked rather than what is listed.
  3. Amend the affected returns and file your original state.

The W2s were already approved and refund is expected before or by the 13th of February.  I already filed and paid my local taxes and had to pay $11.
