If the taxes were withheld for East Lansing in error, you should be able to file a return with East Lansing and get back the withholding that was sent to them in error.
@KurtL1 i already filed my state return and it's now pending. i'm supposed to pay local tax to east lansing and my w2 is correct. however, during filling process i accidentally put another city (lansing) and turbotax detected i had two workplaces (i only have one), so in a way i made mistake putting amount (local tax on w2) for lansing, not east lansing. does that mean i need to amend my tax return although my employer had it correct on my w2? i mean i paid to the right city but messed up on turbotax.
Yes, the only way to correct a city return is to amend the return that has been filed.
Once the returns have been accepted you will need to follow the steps on How do I amend my 2019 TurboTax Online return?. You will need to mail the City Returns.
If the returns are rejected, you just need to make the corrections and resubmit the returns.
