Retirement tax questions

I'm not a RR W-2 expert by any means

 

...but I think what they are saying, is the box 1 value must also be in box 14 as the category "Railroad Retirement Compensation"

 

The Tier 1 and Tier 2 taxes withheld need a value to compare to....

......(My problem is that I don't really know if box 1 is always used, or whether box 1 can sometimes be different from the exact "Compensation" value needed for box 14....thus, the box 14 "Compensation" value may occasionally need to be different.
