what am I suppose to add to box 14

"DI" is the usual abbreviation for Disability Insurance, typically a state program in which employers are required to participate. The PP#000-00000 is probably the employers policy or account number. If you want to add it and don't see any room, just fill in all the boxes you do have and "Tab" down - a new line should appear.

You don't need to add this to TurboTax in the W-2 interview - it won't affect your taxes.

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. Enter the dollar amount and select the correct tax category that goes with that description.

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.

How do I enter the DIPP# in box 14?

You will just type it in as it appears on your form, then enter the amount and category. If you do not know the category, you can choose Other (not classified)

I have the same question but in my W-2 is listed on box 19?

It depends. First box 19 is used for local income tax, so I'm not sure why your employer entered anything else in that box.

Here is a possible explanation for the acronym.
