In TurboTax, enter the description from your W-2's box 14 on the first field in the row.   Enter the dollar amount and select the correct tax category that goes with that description.

If none of the categories apply, scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Other (not classified).     If box 14 is blank, just skip over it. Don't enter a 0 for any blank boxes.

 

What is Box 14?

 

Employers can put just about anything in box 14; it's a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2.

It's not valid to have an amount in box 14 without a description or code. Ask the employer what the amount is, and ask for a corrected W-2. If you can't get a good answer, just omit it from TurboTax.
