The last one "Other (not classified)"

Usually, box 14 is only used for your company payroll department.

In this case, Tax Software does not even use it.

SOMETIMES Box 14 is used for one of the categories on the drop-down list and it is an additional tax or deduction. For example, some Pennsylvania employees have to pay an unemployment tax, and that tax is listed in Box 14.

Most employees subject to these additional taxes are aware of it and know to select the correct category for box 14.

Your box 14 is reporting something that is simply informational to you and your employer. Select "Other" or leave all Box 14 blank.

My box 14 is for my New York State pension I'm required to pay into for category you should choose NYS taxable

Level 15

This box is used for additional information by the employer. This means you participated in a Cafeteria Plan, or a Section 125 Plan. It could have been a medical spending account or something similar. It needs to be entered, but will not effect your return.

What do you select from the drop down menu for that code?

If the categories for your deductions in Box 14 are not listed as an option, then you can select the category labeled Other - not classified.

Generally, the Box 14 items of your W-2 are for informational purposes and would not affect your income tax return.

Level 2

After adding both, do I select a “category”?

Is this amount subject to NYS tax?
