Should I put "Other" for Box 14 if there isn't a category listed on W-2? If it is there where would it be?

Is there an amount in box 14?   But no description or letters?   Ask the employer what it’s for.

What is the code or abbreviation before the amount in box 14 for which you are looking for the category? What state are you in? It might be something that is specific to your state. The categories for box 14 entries a TurboTax convention. The TurboTax category is not shown on the W-2.

for Box 14 there is no standard text or abbreviation. So "other" should be ok unless it's one of the items listed in the drop-down
