Question

School Tax in box 14

If my W2 reports my school district withholdings in box 14 instead of box 19, how do I input it in turbotax?  Do I report it in box 19 anyway and input the district number in box 20?  Or will that cause issues because it doesn't match my W2?

 

If I only report it in turbotax in box 14, it won't calculate correctly when filing my fed/state/local taxes, right?

    Try to get your employer to do a corrected W-2. 

     

    Lacking that,  report it in box 19 anyway and input the district number in box 20.

     

    Yes, there's a chance your School District tax filing will not be accepted, depending on how your employer actually remitted the withholding.  Consider paper filing the School District return and attaching a statement explaining the situation.
