Being required to select a drop-down for my W-2 Box 14 identification. I was participating Defined Contribution Plan in California in 2017. Which one to choose?

As none of the categories apply, under the Tax Category, scroll to the very bottom of the list and choose Other–not on above list. See attached screenshot.

Per IRS, the information that your employer lists in Box 14 of your W-2 does not usually affect your income tax return. In fact, for many Box 14 entries, the IRS does not even provide a place for it to get reported on your return forms. They are reported to you in Box 14 simply for informational purposes.
