Question about W2 (tax preparation)?
I am using an online tax preparation service, and in boxes 15-20 on my W2 there is info above and below the dotted line. For example, there are two entries in Box 20, Locality Name, above and below the dotted line. Are these two different entries I need to enter in the tax preparation form?

- Dear In: Do you live in a city that has an income tax? Box 20 should be the name of your city and box 19 is the tax paid to that city and line 18 is city wages. This is all entered on your tax prep and you will probably need to file a city return also. You also need to enter the state info from lines 15 16 17. This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provided. Click on my profile to read more.
