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.
