City of Detroit W-2 information will be pulled from the Federal return. For each W-2, determine whether or not the wages were fully earned within the City of Detroit.
If a W-2 was not fully earned within the City of Detroit the income needs to be allocated. To access the Wage Allocation menu, from the main menu of the Detroit return select;
- Total Income
- Wages, salaries, tips, etc.
- Add or Edit the W-2
- Wage Allocation Menu
Completing the allocation section requires knowing the number of days the individual was paid for, the number of vacation, holiday, and sick days included in the total, and the number of days actually worked in the city. The information you enter here carries to Form 5121 Part 3 which feeds Form 5119 Line 9.
