How can I get my CT W2 box 14 state employee retirement contribution (code 414h) included in the Retirement Credit form 8880 calculation?

There is no entry in box 12 to cover my pre-tax state employee retirement contribution. My pre-tax retirement contribution is not included in box 1 wages, but is included in Social Secuity and Medicare wage boxes.

The Box 14 Retirement Contribution is not included as a credit on your Federal return on Form 8880.  Since it is not included in Box 1, it is not taxed.

Neither is it deductible on your Connecticut State return.

The Box 14 amount is for your info only.
