W-2 Box 14 has PERS/S. No category seems to fit this. I think it's retirement from CalPers. Anyone know the Category?

Enter  "Other - not classified" or  "Other – not on above list". Your entry here will not affect your ability to e-file or your tax calculation.  

 
Employers can put just about anything in box 14; it's a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2.  
 

If you don't see a category in the TurboTax list that matches your W-2 entry, don’t worry. We'll figure out if it impacts your return or not. If we need more information, we'll ask you. 

Box 14 — Employers can use this W-2 box to report information such as: 

• State disability insurance taxes withheld 

• Union dues 

• Uniform payments 

• Health insurance premiums deducted 

• Nontaxable income 

• Educational assistance payments 

• A member of the clergy’s parsonage allowance and utilities 

• Charitable contributions made through payroll deduction 

Railroad employers use this W-2 box to report: 

• RRTA compensation 

• Tier I tax 

• Tier II tax 

• Medicare tax 

• Additional Medicare tax 

Since there’s no standard list of W2 codes for Box 14, employers can list any description they choose. If the code is unclear, contact your employer and ask what the code represents.
