LST in Box 14 of a W-2 stands for Local Services Tax (usually in Pennsylvania) and is best categorized as "Other mandatory deductible state or local tax" or similar, such as "Other (not classified)". It is an informational item describing a tax paid that is generally not for federal income tax calculation.
