Hi, 

I have 3 different amounts in box 19 on my W2s. We did get a new payroll system and was told we would have extra forms. Do I add all 3 amounts up? Does the federal filing copy have the grand total for box 19? Box 19 on the federal copy equals the 2 other amounts in box 19 on my 2 extra city or local filing copies. Thank you!

If the local tax was paid to only one locality, add the amounts and enter as one line. 

If the local tax was paid to several localities, enter each line for each locality. 

Enter everything on one W-2 entry screen if this is all for the same W-2
