NYPFL is normally reported in box 14. The reason it goes in box 14 normally is so it flows to Schedule A, line 5a.
Unless you have
• $12,000 for Single or Married Filing Separately,
• $18,000 for Head of Household,
• $24,000 for Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Widow(er),
It doesn't matter elsewhere on your return.
Here are the only codes allowed for box 12:
