Remote working living in MI but company HQ are in NJ

Screen: Other wage adjustments- W2

There are 4 inputs that require a description and amount. 

In my w2 form there is a section titled:

"Your gross pay was adjusted as follows to produce your W-2 statement"

Box 15: MI, box 16 and 17 are also filled. Box 18 ans 19 are empty.

 

How should I fill these inputs in Turbotax?

That is a reconciliation telling you how they get from your gross income, to the amount that is reported in Box 1 of your W-2.  The first two items (Cost of Group Term Life Insurance and 401(k) deferrals) should be in Box 12 of your W-2.  The next two items (your Flexible Spending Account - FSA, and Cafateria Plan) are things that are deducted pretax from your gross income, but are items on your W-2 that need to be entered on your tax return.  Subtracting those four pre-tax deductions from your gross income gets you to your Wages/Income in Box 1 of your W-2.  You should enter the items in numbered boxes on your W-2 in the W-2 entry in TurboTax.  Other items are informational and don't need to be entered.
