W2 box 14 says "IMPUT". The drop down has "CASDI" but not "IMPUT". Can I choose "no entry"?

I am using Turbotax Online.  While entering W2 info, I cannot find "IMPUT" in the drop down for box 14.  Can I choose "no entry".

Btw, the W2 says that "IMPUT" refers to "IMPUTED VA" which is one of many "VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENTS" and is already included in federal wages (box 1) and CA wages. W2 was generated by PAYCHEX.

Employers can put just about anything in box 14; it's a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2.

In TurboTax, enter the description from your W-2's box 14 on the first field in the row (e.g. IMPUT). Enter the dollar amount and select the correct tax category that goes with that description. In many cases the program will identify the correct code (e.g. CASDI)

If none of the categories apply, scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Other–not on above list. Don’t worry. We'll figure out if it impacts your return or not. If we need more information, we'll ask you later in the interview.

On the other hand, if box 14 is blank, just skip over it. Don't enter a 0 for any blank boxes.
