Linda, Thank you very much for your reply. I get that I should keep this W2 for my records and in the Turbo Tax software when it asks if you have another W2 then I should say NO and proceed. However, I was going to add the Box 14 fringe benefits cost in the grant money income and report that in additional income or Misc income area. But I am confused by your one sentence in the reply. The sentence that you wrote: "In general, the information that your employer lists in Box 14 of your W-2 does not have any affect your income tax return." I have a question: The box 14 includes the cost of fringe benefits provided by the University such as insurance etc., - are you saying that it is not taxable and should not be included in the grant money income? The pay stub however, shows that it is taxable. Please clarify. Thank you in advance.
