SUI is State Unemployment Insurance. SDI is State Disability Income and FLI is for Family Leave Insurance.

Enter each item separately on it's own row. Select the 'Add Another Row' link to enter additional Box 14 description, amount, and category. See attachment.

Thank you for that Information, but unfortunately TurboTax doesn’t let me file because if I add another box I have to add a state and you can’t have the state twice

You don't need to add a new "State" in the bottom half of the W-2 (Boxes 15–17) to enter more Box 14 info. Here is the correct way to resolve this issue. 

 

Stay in the Box 14 section of your W-2 entry screen.

 

  1. Select + Add another row (or "Add another item") inside the Box 14 section itself.
  • Row 1: Description: SUI | Amount: [from your W-2] | Category: Other mandatory deductible state or local tax
  • Row 2: Description: SDI | Amount: [from your W-2] | Category: State Disability Insurance (or "Other mandatory...")
  • Row 3: Description: FLI | Amount: [from your W-2] | Category: Family Leave Insurance (or "Other mandatory...")

Leave Boxes 15-17 alone. Only one row is needed for your state (e.g., "NJ" or "NY") unless you actually worked in two different states.
