What do I do when box 14 on my W2 has a percentage instead of dollar amount?

The box says other and 100%.  This is from my short term disability.

W-2 Box 14 is a "catch-all" box for employers to report items the IRS does not require on W-2s. Generally TurboTax only needs certain numbers from Box 14, mainly from employees of railroads and state & local governments. Unless there's a Box 14 option to enter percentage of disability, I wouldn't enter it at all.
