Where to enter local taxes in Turbotax

I prepare a local income tax and can't seem to remember where I enter it in the TurboTax program so it comes out in the total wit the other withheld state taxes. Anyone know?

Thanks,

Barbara

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I am assuming you meant to say that you PAID local income tax and want to know how to input that data into TurboTax. During the interview process you are prompted to enter data from your Form W-2. That data includes both Federal, state and local wages and tax withheld.

We have a local tax that is not part of local wages and tax withheld. We have to pay it by check directly ourselves. I pre pay 2005 in 2004 so I can include it on schedule A. But can't find where in TurboTax in the interview or the forms where to enter it. There was nothing specifically for that.

Is this a tax on businesses or individuals? If individuals, is this tax based on income or property value? If this is property tax it goes on Schedule A (assuming you have enough deductions to bother with itemizing). If this is neither an income-based or property value-based tax it may not be deductible.

I don't have T-Tax here, but surely there's a way to enter it. Have you searched HELP?

If you can't find a way to enter it via interview mode, you can get it in manually: Switch to forms mode and open Sched A. Find line 5-ish for local tax. Click on that entry point and see what worksheet comes up. You should be able to enter it there or on a linked worksheet.

Report back if you don't find it; I'll be using T-Tax to do a friend's return this afternoon and I'll look for it then.
