Box 14 is missing info; well, what does it want?

DoctorWho — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:17:48 GMT

I'm in the PERSONAL | Personal Income section. I had to enter a couple lines from box 14 on my W-2. That brought me to this page. TurboTax copied the description and amount from the previous page. But now TurboTax wants me to add a category. And TT adds, "If you need to add a category, select Other (not classified)"

Huh? I don't know what TT is talking about. My W-2 only lists a description and amount. There is nothing at all there about a category. What am I supposed to do in this case?

TurboTax asks for the Box 14 description because there are tax benefits for some entries. In general, employers can use Box 14 to report any information. If you do not see anything on the list that applies (most are state specific)- choose Other (not classified). It is an entry that you must decide. (If you are not sure, add the description as it appears to his post and someone can help!)
