My employer listed my employee assistance fund contribution as 'EAFUND' on my W2. TurboTax does not recognize this. It is not listed in drop down box. Is it deductible?

What do I choose from TurboTax's drop down box? 'Other'?
'Charitable Cash Contribution'?

[SweetieJean]

Ask your employer exactly what it is.  Could it be Employee Assistance Fund?

[cdenorch]

 It is 'Employee Assistance Fund'.   I need to know how to categorize it in TURBOTAX. 

Charitable Cash Contribution?  Other?  Is it tax deductible?   Thank you

Please clarify your situation. Did you contribute to or receive money from an employee assistance fund? And was this amount reported in Box 14 or your W-2?

W-2 Box 14 has an option for Charitable cash contribution. However a donation to an Employer Assistance Fund would only be deductible if your employer set up a charitable. Some EAFs are not registered charities.

If you received money from a fund, it may or may not be taxable and it may or may not have been included in your Box 1 wages. 

I suggest speaking with your HR or payroll department.
