The entry in W-2, Box 20, is the name of the locality responsible for assessing your local income tax. It could be a city, town, school district, or something else. Depending on where you live, you may even have more than one. If you do, just add a new row to enter info for another locality.

 

There should only be one Box 20 entry per locality. Check with your employer to determine whether one of the duplicate localities is incorrect. All of the wages taxed by one locality on one W-2 should be on a single line.
