How can I adjust my Detroit city income tax filing based on the number of days that was worked in the City of Detroit?

[ErnieS0]

TurboTax allows you to adjust your Detroit earnings in the Detroit City section.

• On the screen Detroit Wages, click Edit next to your W-2
• On Detroit Wage Adjustment, select Working Days Allocation
• On Allocation of Detroit Wages, enter Total Vacation, Holidays, Sick Days, and Other Days not Worked and Total Days Worked in Detroit
• Enter your explanation

I have same issue just about every year no mater what you put in for allocation days worked, not worked the outcome of the refund is always the same even if you worked 1 day. Sure wish they would fix this! lost so much money over the years, do to there city of Detroit tax's be messed up. being I work in the city only part of the year.

If you worked in Detroit for part of the year, you have to file a part-year return for Detroit and indicate the dates you earned wages inside of the city. 

Wages earned as a non-resident while working from a location outside the City of Detroit are not taxable to Detroit. If Detroit taxes were taken out of your paycheck the entire year, you should get a refund of the local tax paid while you were not working in Detroit.

Please follow the steps below to file a part-year Detroit return:

1. Click on State.
2. Click Continue next to Michigan.
3. On the screen Which Cities Did you Live or Work In? Click Detroit.
4. Click that you need a Detroit Part-year return. 
5. Continue through your return.
6. Enter the dates you worked in Detroit on the screen Detroit Residency.

Turbo Tax for tax year 2021 does not have these choices above.. They only have 

I dont need a Detroit Return

I file as a Detroit Resident

I file as a Detroit Part-Year Resident

I file as a Detroit Nonresident

I am not a Detroit Resident but  my office is in Detroit, but due to covid, I did not work in Detroit any days in 2021.  I worked from home.     

How do I show that I did not work in Detroit?

I did not have any issues with Turbo Tax 2020 but the City of Detroit info does not come up at top next to IRS and State of Michigan.  I cannot properly enter days worked and one of the W2s already has the correct Detroit wages but Turbo Tax does not use it - keeps going back to total wages.  I think it's a problem with Turbo Tax but they won't take calls.
