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 Michigan return select:
- City of Detroit Return
- City of Detroit Nonresident Return
- Income
- Wage Allocation
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 will carry to Form 5121 Part 3 which feeds Form 5119 Line 9.
