If box 14 says U101 what do i choose for box 14 for the category that matches the total?

The box is asking me to "review the drop down menu below to see if any of the categories match the dollar amount in box 14 of your W-2" I"m not sure if the letters next to the totals explain what categories I should be choosing.

The "U" may stand for union dues, but you would have to look on your paystub to get a better clue as to what it stands for. It likely will not affect your tax calculation though, as the entries in box 14 are more for your information than critical to your tax return entries. You can ask you employer for clarification.
