In Texas teachers pay into the Texas Retirement System (TRS) where do I put this amount on my taxes. We are required to pay into this instead of Social Security taxes. This is causing it to look like I owe social security taxes.

Your box 14 already has your contributions to the state program. Review your W2 entry. You should have zero for Social Security wages and zero withheld. Your W2 boxes 3 and 4 should be blank. In addition, boxes 5 and 6 will be blank.
