In the drop down box for box 14 of your W-2, report NYSDI as NY Nonoccupational Disability Fund.

 

The payment may be deductible as a state and local tax if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A Itemized Deductions.

On box 14 it only says "DI" would that go under other "not classified" OR New York Nonoccupational Disability Fund Tax?

also the itin number turbo tax says it may be expired but I called the irs and they said it is still active, what should I do in that case?

There should be  disability on your w2, that could be it. DI could mean so many things. If you believe it is disability, then classify it as disability tax. 

 

As for the ITIN, I think the program is just warning you to not let it expire. See Using an ITIN? How the PATH Act May Affect Its Expiration Date

On my W2, I have a "NYSDIEE" specified for a small amount (under $20). Is this the same as NYSDI to be categorized as the same as NYSDI, "NY Nonoccupational Disability Fund". If so, why the name difference? Thank you.

 

(I wonder why TurboTax doesn't know about all of these since they seem fairly common and people wouldn't be asking questions about them.)

Yes it is the same.  EE just means the employee part.
