Deductions & credits

Box 14 is used by your payroll department, just about anything can be entered here, which makes it very confusing for tax Software. 

 

TurboTax should not complain if you choose the last option on the drop-down list "Other (not classified)"

 

Box 14 is not normally used for reporting Health Insurance Premiums. That would be something reported in Box 12 perhaps. 

 

Since there are no set rules for Box 14, you might check with your payroll department and ask if it is anything you should be concerned with. 

If TurboTax is showing an error for that box, and choosing the last option from the drop-down does not remedy the error, AND you are sure it is reporting Health Insurance Premiums, leave Box 14 blank. 

  

If the premiums were taken out of your pay, report the amount as a Medical expense under Deductions & Credits if you intend to Itemize Deductions.
