If your W-2 has two different amounts in Box 19 (local income tax), along with a locality name and city, here are steps to multiple localities in TurboTax

 

  1. Go to the W-2 section (Income)  in TurboTax and start entering your information.
  2. When you reach Box 19, enter the first local tax amount along with the associated locality name in the respective field.
  3. For the second amount, click "Add Another Locality"
  4. Verify the locality names listed in Box 20 match the corresponding amounts in Box 19.

TurboTax will calculate and include the local taxes when preparing your state and local returns.
