Double-check the following answer with your employer to ensure that there is something I am not missing. Based on the information you provide above, you should ignore Box 14 on the NY state return. Usually Box 14 is informational. You should enter the information into the W2 screen, but it shouldn't automatically change your state return. Sometimes the information is very useful for certain purposes, but I don't think that this is the case here.
The reason why is that New York taxes all of the income listed in Box 1. Since all of that income was earned working in New York, all of it should be taxable in New York. However, as I mention, you could double-check with your employer to make sure that there might not be some income they are reporting that is excluded from New York tax that agrees with the amount that is listed in Box 14.
