FAMLI Box 14 on W-2, also reportable for ?

[Anonymous1420]

I have Box 14 on my W-2 form listed as FAMLI (I live in Colorado) with an amount. Can the amount be entered again in my state return under the FAMLI Benefits Received section under Income, Miscellaneous?

No.  Those are two different things.   The box 14 amount is not income, its a deduction from your pay to pay premiums to fund the program.   Use the category Other -not classified for Box 14 amounts when there is no matching code. 

The FAMLI Benefits Received section on your CO state return is for income you received from the program while taking medical leave; it is not taxable in CO.   You would have received a 1099-G for that type of income - it won't be in Box 14.
