Deductions & credits

The drop down menu that you have clicked on is for Box 12.  The amounts in Box 12 are directly related to income and are most often carried by the program to the forms where they belong automatically.

 

Box 14 is different.  It tends to be informational, just there to tell the employee what was taken out of their check and not for use on their tax return.  If it does need to be entered in to the tax return somewhere box 14 amounts usually have to be manually entered into the TurboTax program in any other areas where they belong.

 

When you get to Box 14 there is a space there that just says 'Description' and you will type in the information from your W2.  There is no drop down menu.
