Box 14 of your W-2 is typically for additional information and would not determine the taxation on your return for your multi-state allocation. Box 14 of your W-2 is a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2. Employers can put just about anything in box 14, so it's very common to have random or missing information in there.
I am not sure why your employer would put NY wages in Box 14. What category did you choose for this item? You are reporting the NY wages when you input the information in Boxes 15-17.
To test this situation, I entered the NY income in Box 14 (as shown in Box 16) with the category of Other in my mock-up return. It had no effect on my return.
Lastly, you do not have to enter any days. If you have no source income for NY, then you can enter 0 days. Again, this amount in Box 14 of your W-2 has no effect on your return.
