Box 14 is provided for your employer to report additional tax information. It's simply an information box. So, you will not have to post it anywhere.

However, you indicated that it was for PRETAX INS. In that case I would expect that it was deducted from Box 1 on your W-2. You can do a quick check by comparing Box 1 to Box 3.

Box 1 is Wages, and Pretax deductions are taken out.

Box 3 is Social Security wages and Pretax deductions are not taken out.

If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
