I had box 14 marked as state ret. I do not know what category should I choose? should it be "other" or "other deductible state or local  tax"?

    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.

    If none of the categories apply, select Other.

    Retirement deductions in Box 14 are usually contributions made with after-tax dollars.
