Employers can put just about anything in box 14; it's a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2.  Unless you work for a railroad most entries are just informational.   In TurboTax, enter the description from your W-2's box 14 on the first field in the row. Enter the dollar amount and select the correct tax category that goes with that description. If none of the categories apply, scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Other (not classified). Don’t worry. We'll figure out if it impacts your return or not. If we need more information, we'll ask you.   If box 14 is blank, just skip over it. Don't enter a 0 for any blank boxes.

@Solar Eclipse from what I've seen you would be able to install it but not activate it once it rolls off their 3 year support.  In 2020 I did manage to re-download and install TT 2018 and 2019 on a different Mac to refile for an issue, in 25 years of using TT that's the furthest I've ever had to go back to run an old version of TT.  It seems the 3 year support window is more aimed at refile window than audits.  Best thing to do is to save the full PDF with "all forms and worksheets" for your records when you're done with filing season.

There could be a couple of reasons why you might be experiencing a delay:   1. First, the status might be pending for security reasons. This may be a sign that someone is trying to use your identity to file a tax return. This can take up to 72 hours, after which your return will then be forwarded to the IRS, or if applicable, rejected. If rejected, you can then correct the rejection issue and resubmit. Please see this FAQ for reference.   2. Secondly, there could be a delay if your return has various refundable credits, such as the Earned Income Credit, Investment Credit, Energy Credits, or Business Credits. You may need to wait a few more days and check your filing status again. Please see this FAQ for additional information.   Note: Both instances may be applicable. That is, you could have a hold for security reasons first. And additionally for verification of the refundable credits in your return. In this case, delays might extend beyond 72 hours.  

You will need to file married-separate if your spouse will not agree to file married-joint. Your spouse would need to do the same community property allocation, unless the individual has dependents and qualifies to file as head of household. So, they will likely need your income to complete their tax return like you will. The best thing to do would be to contact them and offer your income information in return for theirs.
