Box 14 on your W-2 is informational only, and normally does not affect your return.

Here's more info:

What on Earth does "normally" mean? For Railroad Retirement, it is significant.

@brockstar For most people, items in Box 14 of their W-2 is informational only.  It is used by employers to show things like the amount of income from stock options included in Box 1.  For Rail Road employees, some of the information reported in Box 14 is NOT informational only.  Railroad Tier I and Tier II tax is reported in Box 14, and needs to be entered and indicated as such.
