Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Employers use Box 14 on Form W-2 to provide other information to employees. Generally, the amount in Box 14 is for informational purposes only; however, some employers use Box 14 to report amounts that should be entered elsewhere on your return.
Employers use many different abbreviations and codes in Box 14 to report a variety of information. I am not sure what the RES is for, but "NQO" usually refers to a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
TurboTax cannot determine your employer's intent based upon the code or abbreviation used. If you have questions regarding the information reported in Box 14, contact the employer that issued the W-2.
If you have Box 14 information that needs to be reported on your return, it should be entered in the proper section of the Federal interview.
