Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If the amount reported in box 1 is not taxable, then you need to enter it as reported in box 1 when you enter your W-2 form in TurboTax. Then, you will enter a negative amount equal to the non-taxable amount reported in box 1 of your W-2 form as "Other Income", along with a note referencing "Notice 2014-7." The two amounts will cancel each other out so the net amount taxable will be zero.

 

You can make that adjusting entry in TurboTax as follows:

 

1. From the Federal menu in TurboTax find Wages and Income 

2. Find Less Common Income

3. Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

4. Choose Other Reportable Income

5. Enter a description of the adjustment and the amount as a negative number
