I live in Kansas and work in Kansas City Missouri. Kansas City charges a 1% earnings tax. How do I claim credit for that city tax when filing my Kansas return?

I don't see an option to enter in anything other than States and I can't append any city information. Should I just claim Missouri twice with the correct tax amount for each, or claim Missouri once and just total the two taxes together?

Page 7 of the Kansas tax instruction booklet says this:  The amount of income tax paid to another state includes tax paid to that state and to any political subdivision.   https://www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/ip17.pdf

In TurboTax, it's important to complete your non-resident state return before you complete your home state return, so that the credits flow properly.

Therefore I think you should total the two taxes together.

Tom, thanks for the quick response. After having entered the numbers both ways, and now having that reference you provided, I agree that seems like the correct approach.

Why am I asked for the 1% earnings tax for Kansas City?
