I am just getting around to looking at this problem. If you go to Maintain Tax type, do both of the local taxes have the same locality name?
When adding the amounts to the W2 it looks at the locality names to see if an amount with that name has already been added. If it finds that name it will add to the amounts together. If you give each local tax a separate name, they should show right on the W2.

Aha ... that was it, they were both listed as Connellsville. I'll change one to the CASD (Connellsville Area School District) .... just tested it, and it looks great !!
Thanks.
