Question

I worked from home for a significant portion of the year, but continued to pay Detroit City taxes. Can I submit a days not worked in city exemption through TurboTax?

My employer provides a signed form certifying the days I did not work in the city. I am told I can submit this form with my city taxes to be refunded the city tax collected days I was working elsewhere.

You can allocate days worked outside of The Motor City on the Detroit City Income Tax Return.

Go to the Detroit City section in Michigan.

Find the screen Detroit Wages, click Edit next to your W-2
On Detroit Wage Adjustment, select Working Days Allocation
On Allocation of Detroit Wages, enter Total Vacation, Holidays, Sick Days, and Other Days not Worked and Total Days Worked in Detroit
Enter your explanation

I have the same situation listed in the question above. I cannot find the screens that you mention. I tried going through the forms view and the screen prompts in the Michigan State section. Can you provide more detail on where to go please?

Thanks, Matt

Check your W-2. Boxes 18-20 should have entries and Box 20 should say either Detroit (online) or MI-DET (CD\Desktop)

Detroit 1

On the screen Which Cities Did You Live or Work In? make sure I need a Detroit City Return is checked. Then select the appropriate return (resident, part-year, or nonresident)
