Box 14 over 145 on W2

I am in NJ and my box 14 of my W2 has an item wd/UI/HC of 160.08. However Turbo tax kept saying that box 14 can't be greater than $145.

However I didn't lie. My box 14 does show a bigger number than 145. Shall I just ignore the error message or shall I try to do something else?

Thanks.

Ask your employer how to break down the $160.08.

Thank you. Can you be a little more specific? If in fact I contributed more than what's allowed by the state, is it an error from my company? Unfortunately I can't get very useful answer from my employer as they outsourced the account and they are not very good. Can I just manually change this number to 145 just to pass the error check?
