I have a received a W-2 with box 12 completed with code P, showing that it is an "excludable moving expense paid to a member of the Armed Forces". I am not in the armed forces and this moving expense, I have read, is no longer deductible. So the payer messed up the W-2. Can I enter it into Turbo tax in such a way that it ends being treated correctly as income?

Unfortunately, no.  You will need to contact your employer and request a corrected W-2, as Code P is now only used for military moving expenses.
