To clarify, do you have local wages and tax reported in boxes 18 and 19?

18 and 19 boxes are empty as well. But as I am doing my turbo tax I will not let me finish e-filing until I put something in box 20 yet on my W2 that Box along with 18 and 19 are all blank

That does not sound right. 

Did you import the W-2? If yes, please delete it and enter it manually.

If there's an amount in box 19, you should know who you are paying tax to. Type the name of that city/county/school district in box 20.  An abbreviation will work.  Unless you need to file a local return, it doesn't matter what's in box 20.

 

Interestingly, the TT  "?" pop up says you can leave it blank.

Yes I know it says you could leav blank but it will not complete the filing  process until I fill in that blank I am just unsure what to put in box 20 so I could complete my taxes an like I said 18/19 are both blank also and it’s only from this one employer that it is asking

I would delete the W-2 and re-enter it manually.
