My wife is a public high school teacher in MA. The number in Box 14 on her W2 must be the contribution to her pension plan (MA Teachers Retirement System). When I choose from the "Box 14 Category" drop-down menu in Turbotax, should I select "Mass State or US Retirement System", or should I select "Other - Not on the List Above"?

The question here is due to the fact that the teacher is likely a Municipal Employee however to code says State Retirement system. These retirements are 2 different entities however they are both pension systems in the state of MA none the less. Can you give a specific answer for municipal employee pension systems in the state of MA
