I do not have a name of locality on my w2g gambling winnings form

[hank922e]

Turbo Tax will not let me go any further, without correcting this.  No locality name on Form W-2G. What do I do?

[nyinyeb]

No Problem. If your W-2G Box 18 is blank, enter XXX in the locality field.

Form W-2G. Box 18  Name of locality is blank

[Pipecommander]

I put xxx in box 18 but it did not work

If there is no local tax withheld on your Form W-2G, just leave boxes 16, 17 and 18 blank. That is completely blank, no xx, no zeroes.

If you do have an amount greater than $0 in box 17 and the locality is not named, you need to contact the issuer of your W-2G to get the name of the locality. 

To go back and fix this:

1. Select Federal on the left side menu.
2. Select Wages & Income.
3. Scroll down to Less Common Income, expand the section and select Gambling Winnings.
4. Select Start or Revisit to the right.
5. Select Review to the right of your W-2G, or answer Yes, if you haven't entered it yet.
6. Scroll to the bottom and clear boxes 16, 17 and 18.
