If there is nothing on your w-2 make sure you leave the space blank, do not put in 0 nor spaces.  Box 20 is LOCALITY NAME if local taxes were withheld....

If 20 is blank then 18 & 19 should also be blank ... do not enter zeros.

Field 20 is blank on my w2 but there is an entry in 18.  Field 19 is blank.  What should I enter in box 20 Locality name?

Are you subject to local taxes where you live or where you work such as NYC or Philadelphia and others?  If not, don't input box 18, if you are find out the Locality name and contact your employer as to why it was left blank.
