You should enter the 284.71 if that is what's in box 14.

 

Box 14 on your W-2 is used to report things like insurance premiums or taxes that the employer pays on behalf of the employee.

 

It is likely that there is some tax or premium that is set at 1% of your total wages (that's what 284.17 is).

 

There are few preset entries for Box 14, so you might have to ask your employer what this entry is for; however, the text next to the 284.17 may give you a hint (or maybe not).
