If there is no amount in box 17 then blank out the local winnings amount from box 16 since there were no local taxes withheld.  

 

If there were taxes withheld in box 17 then click the "Learn More" link next to the box.  You will get a help page that list the available localities by state.  If the locality/state where you won is not listed use "XXX".
