Question

What do I enter for Employer Retirement contributions to MainePERS?

I’m confused what I’m supposed to report here. Turbo tax is promoting me to report the amount shown as PERS (in Box 14) on your W-2 “or you can calculate it by deducting your federal wage from your state wages”. However, this amount is my contribution not my employers. What, exactly, goes here?

Your MainePERS contributions are contributions made by your employer. This amount is not included in your Maine taxable income but it is taxed on your federal return.
