My w-2 has "0" in box 1.All my difficulty of care payments are listed in box 16.Where do I list this income in my Oregon taxes? federal taxes?

Box 1 is blank, but 16 has the amount I earned as difficulty of care payments.  My spouse and I have other income.  When I follow the directions to go under misc income and note "Notice 2014-7"  and enter the amount with a minus sign, the amount in box 16 is subtracted from our income, but it wasn't initially counted, so it reduces our taxable income when it shouldn't.  (ex if our other income was 100000 and box 16 had 5000, our income would be reduced to 95000 when it was actually 100000 plus the non-taxable 5000)
