I lived in one city and worked in another city. Turbo Tax is not allowing me to add the city in which I worked. How can I add this city?

Which city?

TurboTax does not support them all.

Why do you think you need to file for the city you worked in?

You normally only have to file a return in the Ohio city you live in. It is not necessary to file one in the city you work in, if different. Your employer will remit withholding to the city you work in, but you do not file a return unless you're claiming a refund or your employer didn't withhold enough ( both highly unusual). The city you live in will allow a credit or partial credit for the withheld tax you paid to the work location city.

TurboTax (TT) does not automatically prepare a School District return (form SD 100), you must initiate it.

At the screen, in the Ohio program, titled  "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes"
      scroll down to School District taxes.
Or later at the screen  "Your 2023 Ohio Taxes are ready for us to check"
    -Click Other situations
    -Scroll down to School District taxes.

Usually the School District Income Tax (SDIT) return is e-filed with the state return, but there are exceptions. Read the Ohio 'filing instructions" that TurboTax prepares, They will tell you if the SD 100 was e-filed or if you have to mail it.

There are 2 state wide agencies that help Ohio Cities collect City Income taxes. One is CCA (Central Collection Agency) and the other, larger one, is RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency). There is a pull down list of cities, in Turbo Tax(TT), for both City Tax Forms (CCA) & RITA. TurboTax can only do RITA & CCA cities. But many Ohio cities use neither agency. These cities design their own forms and require you to use them. You can get paper copies from the individual city. Most are available at the city’s web site. Many cities will prepare the tax return for you, but you have to go to city hall in person. Some may have on line filing (try the city web site). Although they won't usually admit it, some will even accept CCA forms. So you could try filling out a CCA form on TurboTax and mailing it to your city. But, I actually find it easier to fill out a city return by hand or at the city, CCA or RITA web site, than to use TT. Things don't happen automatically and you need to know what you’re doing. The actual city forms are easier to follow than the TT interview.

TT cannot e-file an Ohio City or RITA return. It must be printed and mailed
