Total taxes withheld - what does that include?

[f404]

I like to use various online tax calculators to see my estimated taxes for the year, like this one from TurboTax:

One of the questions is:

"How much was withheld for federal taxes for 2023 (including unemployment)?"

Is that the value of ONLY Box 2 in my W2? Or should the answer also include the values of Box 4 (ss taxes withheld) and Box 6 (Medicare taxes withheld)?

Thank you.

The question is referring to federal income taxes withheld so only the amount is box 2 of the W-2 should be entered.

And include any withholding from unemployment in 1099G box 4 or any other 1099 box 4,
