Please clarify:  Which state are you filing? Which locality? and is there an amount in box 19?

An amount in Box 19 means you paid Local Income Tax.  Depending on where you live, you may have to file a Local Income Tax Return outside TurboTax.  If that applies, leave the Box 19 amount blank on your W-2 entry so you can Efile your Federal and Kentucky returns. 

 

You can contact your local tax agency to see how to file a Local Tax Return. 

 

Here are the Localities that you can file with TurboTax
