Do you have entries in boxes 18 and 19? If so, enter in Box 20 the name of the locality that boxes 18 and 20 apply to (often a municipality, but could be a county or a school district).

 

If you don't know what locality Boxes 18-20 refer to, call your employer and ask them why they made entries there.

Local tax is rare.  But some employers put unrelated information in boxes 18-20 when they should be left blank .

 

Unless you really do have a local tax then leave them blank.
