On this year's New York State W-2 in Box 14 there is "NYPFL" and “NYDBL”. What category description should I choose for these box 14 entries?
Yes, you can use "Other deductible state or local tax" as the Box 14 category for NYPFLVP.
You can also enter "Other - not classified" or "Other – not on above list". Your entry here will not affect your ability to e-file or your tax calculation.
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.
If you don't see a category in the TurboTax list that matches your W-2 entry, don’t worry. We'll figure out if it impacts your return or not. If we need more information, we'll ask you.

Box 14 is not used on your tax return.
It is used by your employer's payroll department.
You can choose whatever looks right or leave Box 14 on a W-2 blank.

Any idea what box to select so that NYS can be efiled? When selecting other, it's kicking it into a paper return.

The Description (your entry) is whatever showing on your W-2.
The drop-down code would have to be one these "other" codes:
- State deductible employee expense
- Other deductible state or local tax
- Other - not classified
You can file your NY return by mail. They "require" you to e-file, but there are numerous exceptions to that requirement.

@jcastro002 NY wants you to efile. Enter the correct box 14 and the program handles it for you.

Hello! Re-opening this thread for 2022! (2021 taxes) NYS can just be listed as Other Not Classified, correct?

If you select other… you have to mail your return in to Ny state. Is there another option? This happened last year too. A real hassle.

For NYPFL and NYDBL, please choose Other deductible state or local tax from the drop-down list. If you itemize deductions on your federal tax return, these contributions are deductible on Schedule A. Choosing this option will not prevent you from e-filing your return.

Can you clarify what reason you are given and verify what you have selected for box 14 on the w2 dropdown?
