One of them would have the category:

NY IRC 125/SEC 18 Subject to NY tax

 

and the other would have the category:

NY IRC 125/SEC 18 NY tax exempt

_______

I'm not really familiar with NY taxes...perhaps someone who knows NY better would respond.

OR ask you employer which is which,.

______

BUT
I suspect that if you subtract the value of box 16 from box 1...if that is close to one of those vlaues....then that is the NY tax exempt category number.  Problem is that there can be other things that affect the box 16 value for NY.
