Just enter the amount in Box 12 (with code L) on the W-2 entry screen.  You can do this on the entry page for the first W-2.

As you said, the amount is to reimbursement you for your out-of-pocket expenses and is not taxable.

To review or edit the W-2 information you've already entered, please follow these steps:

  1. Click on Federal Taxes > Wages & Income [In TT Self-Employed:  Personal > Personal Income > I'll choose what I work on].
  2. Under Wages and Salaries, click on the Update box.  [See Screenshot #1, below.]
  3. You will see the screen, Here's your W-2 info. [Screenshot #2]
  4. To review/edit the information you already entered, click on the Edit button next to the W-2 you want to review.
  5. Continue through the interview, entering the information on your W-2.
