I have policies with Unum Life - 3rd Party Plans. I was off work (June - Dec) . Unum sent me 2 W2s. Box 12 lists 12a - 12e, but lists no amount. Do I need to list these?

I don't understand why there's no dollar amount next to the codes 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, or 12e.

No.  Those (12a - 12e) are just line numbers.  You only need to report the codes and amounts on those lines.  See below for the types of deductions that are reported in Box 12.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300234

Thank you. I've never had a W2 that labeled those lines before. Normally, the box is blank if nothing applies to me, and they labeled them in lowercase. I was aware of what each one stood for, but I've never had to deal with my Unum disability before. What really threw me off was - every box that had information that applied to me was typed in bold print, and they typed that 12a - 12e in bold print. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought. I had ended up selecting them, but didn't enter any amounts for them. You'd never know that I have an associate degree in accounting...LOL! Thank you for taking the time to help me out. 🙂
