Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Box 14 on your W-2 is used by your payroll department, it is not regulated by the IRS.

 

At times, Box 14 might list a tax paid by the employee. The tax might be relevant to that person's state return, but usually the people that are subject to these odd taxes are aware of the fact that they pay this tax and include it when they enter their W-2.

 

Taxable income is not listed in Box 14, or if it is, it is also listed in Box 1 on the same W-2.  (Therefore if it isn't entered, it doesn't affect your income)

 

If you are getting an error for the HWB entry, just don't list it.
