Turbo Tax won't let me carry on with my tax return because its asking me to "fix an error"

 

Box 14 "Other" in my W2 has two different sets of amounts. Just like I'm typing in below.

Example below:

14. other

CA-SDI  1234.56 (imagine a gap here) 1234.56

 

I am not sure why there's two sets of amonuts in this box. I went ahead and added both amounts in two sets of lines and TT didn't like that. One amount is higher than the other. Do I add these amounts to include in tax return? or do I add them seperately like I tried to do?

Box 14 of Form W-2 is used to report amounts that don't belong in other boxes on Form W-2. Employers can use it to report additional tax or income information for filing or informational purposes. Some employers use box 14 to report amounts deducted for State Disability Insurance taxes or union dues that may be tax deductible. See this TurboTax help article for more information.

 

You can have two lines for Box 14 for a W-2 in TurboTax if they are for two different items. Click where indicated on the input screen to "Add another box 14 item". Click on the drop-down list under Category to choose the one that best fits each item. 

 

If you aren't sure what the amounts in Box 14 represent, ask your employer.

 

If you entered two different Box 14 items for your W-2 and received an error message, please describe the error seen.
