It depends, and it's not always easy to tell.  Employers can enter, among other things:

  • The cost for a vehicle lease if your employer included 100% of your vehicle's annual lease as part of your income
  • State disability insurances taxes your employer withheld
  • Union dues paid by your employer
  • Uniform payments your employer made
  • Nontaxable income you earned
  • Pretax commuter benefits
  • Flex Spending Account (FSA) contributions
  • Employee stock benefits (RSUs, ESPPs, etc.) 

If box 14 appears to have a descriptive entry, enter that, and TurboTax will make an interpretation on a subsequent screen and ask you to enter it manually.

Pre-loaded New York-specific descriptions are:

  • New York Nonoccupational Disability Fund Tax
  • New York Paid Family Leave tax
  • New York IRC 125/SEC 18 Subject to NY tax
  • New York IRC 125/SEC 18 NY tax exempt
  • New York IRC 414(h) Subject to NY tax
  • New York IRC 414(h) NY tax exempt and
  • START-UP NY

And there's a large number of other descriptions not specific to New York.

If you don't know what's reflected in Box 14, you should contact your employer.
