Military W2 says "see intructions" for lines 12 and 14

[ivyannroach]

There are no instructions attached. What do i put in these lines?
Thanks to anybody who can help!

The instructions are used only if there are actual codes and $$ amounts on lines 12 or 14.

IF you have any actual Codes and $$ amounts on your paper W-2 for box 12 (or 14), then those need to be entered on the software W-2 form too.

___________________

Example: say you had box 12 entries

code D and $2000, and a code Q and $25,000.

You should look at the instructions and see that:

......the D $2000 was for your contributions to a TSP (that's the govt equivalent to a 401k plan)...that isn't being taxed

......the Q 25,000 means that you had $25,000 of income while in a Combat zone that also isn't being taxed.

You need to make those entries into the software...IF they are on your paper form.

the instructions tend to be on the back of your paper W-2 forms.
but heres's one set:

Mine said the same thing, I just left those blank because they didn't really apply to me and there weren't actually any instructions on the DFAS website for it either.
