When you enter your W-2, you will see  box14 to enter the amounts along with a drop-down menu to select the description.  Don't change anything or add amounts to other boxes.  The information that your employer lists in box 14 of your W-2 doesn't affect your income tax return, but you should enter it when you are inputting your W-2 data.  TurboTax provides you with a drop-down menu of codes you can choose for your W-2 Box 14 entry.  If what’s in box 14 doesn't match a drop-down code, select Other for the code in box 14. 

 

For more information, please review the TurboTax article What is box 14 on my W2 for?
