Employers use Box 14 on Form W-2 to provide other information to employees. Generally, the amount in Box 14 is for informational purposes only. However, some employers use Box 14 to report amounts that should be entered on your employee's personal tax returns.  Cafe 125 is your pre-tax health care plan deduction.  This amount is deducted from your paychecks pretax.  This deduction is already reflected in the amount in Box 1 of your W-2.  This amount does not need to be entered on your tax return.
