I am a flight attendant and received non taxable income. Do I need to deduct the income reported in box 12 letter L from my taxable wages? If so, where do I enter this information on tax form?

W-2 Box 12, Code L, reports payments to you under an accountable plan reimbursement policy.  Since these are paid under an accountable plan, they are already excluded from Box 1 of your W-2 and therefore, they are also already excluded from tax.  

Once you have entered the Box 12, Code L amounts in TurboTax, you do not need to do anything else with this information for your return.
