Under my W-2 Summary, there is Less Other Cafe 125 listed with a dollar amount. I am assuming this was my paid short term for maternity leave. However my Reported Wages and box 1 is less this amount. Do I need to report this Other Cafe 125 amount and wher

[RBBrittain · Accepted solution]

No, you do not. If the description in Box 14 includes "125" and/or "Cafe", it is a pre-tax deduction authorized by a "cafeteria plan" under Internal Revenue Code Section 125. Generally, these *should* be deducted from Box 1 (and certain other income boxes on your return) as they're pre-tax. With certain exceptions (i.e., dependent care FSAs in Box 10 and HSA contributions in Box 12 with code W), Section 125 items are NOT otherwise reported on your W-2.

There is nothing in box 14.  Off to the side under 1. Your gross pay was adjusted, it says Gross pay, Less Other Cafe 125, then Reported W2 wages. Under that is 2. Empoyee Name and Address.

Your income reported on your W-2 was already adjusted by the employer so there is no further adjustment required.
