Some examples of Box 14 information and correct codes to use for electronic filing are listed below. In some instances, an employer may have erroneously reported amounts in Box 12 that should have been reported in Box 14.

If the amounts reported on the electronically-filed Form W-2 and Form IT-201 disagree, the processing of the return will be delayed and may cause the return to be rejected.
