jpsflame asked:
I work at a school in a city that has city taxes. The taxes are automatically deducted from my paycheck. I live in another city. That city has city taxes as well. Do I have to pay city taxes in the city I work in AND the city I live in or just the city I live in?
OOPS. The two cities are Battle Creek, MI and Lansing, MI.

City taxes are an East Coast phenomenon.
You’ll have to look at the laws, but you’ll generally find that the city where you live is taxing you regardless of where you work; and the city where you work is taxing you because you work there (albeit at a lower rate than someone lives and works there).
Surprise, Battlecreek gives a credit for city taxes paid to another city. So does Lansing.
So you file a non-resident form in city you work in and you file a resident form in the city you live in taking a credit for the amount paid on the non-resident return.
