How to answer turbotax question for IRC125 entry, box 14 (federal taxes) : Was the amount above deducted or deferred from your salary under a flexible benefits program?

I do not understand how to determine if amount in the box 14 deducted or deferred.

The answer is "yes". "IRC 125" means Internal Revenue Code Section 125, which authorizes "cafeteria plans" (called "a flexible benefits program" in the screenshot) to enable pre-tax deductions for health insurance and certain other benefits; most employers of any size have them, including cities much smaller than NYC.

RBBrittain, Thank you for your answer, the way to enter my response there looked like a catch for me.
