two different amounts for code C box 12

I have one code C box 12 that reads $6.57. On the same W2 form it displays another C box 12 that reads $1.46. TurboTax does not allow me to add different lines for code C. What do I do? My W2 says adjusted & shows 2 different amounts for this. Please help, thanks.

Since that amount is not used as part of your tax return, try adding the amounts together and enter one total number for box 12 code C.  

 

Or, contact your employer to learn which amount is correct and use that one.  

 

The amount reported in box 12 with code C has already been taken into account in the numbers reported in Boxes 1, 3, and 5 of your W-2.
