Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The Section 125 contributions, which are not taxable on the federal return, but are taxable in NJ, should have been automatically added back to NJ income, if TurboTax was able to recognize them for what they are. Because box 14 codes are not standardized by the IRS, this may not be possible. On the other hand, since HSA contributions are explicitly entered with a code W in box 12, these are automatically added back to NJ income and seldom need to be added in this table.

 

So you should add here any Section 125 contributions that TurboTax was unable to add back because they were not identifiable. This means nearly any Box 14 entry that is not deductible in NJ.

 

Please don't be annoyed at TurboTax about this...as I noted, box 14 codes are not standardized, so TurboTax may not be able to recognize them - that's a flaw in the W-2, not TurboTax.

 

This may mean that you will have to double check these entries when you are able to see your output forms.
