W-2 Box 14 Other Error

I have a W-2 that lists two amounts and describes both as Other. I believe one is a housing allowance and the other is contributions to a 403b. Turbotax gives me an error that I have a duplicate description. Should that be changed before I file?

    The amounts provided by your employer on your W-2 in Box 14 are generally 'informational only' and don't affect your tax return.

     

    The 'Housing Allowance' amount was included in your Wages in Box 1.  

     

    The '403b contributions' are included in Box 12, Code E.

     

    You don't need to enter this info in your W-2 entry in TurboTax, so deleting them should clear your error.

     

    Here's more info on Box 14
