Question
how do i make w2 box 11 amount not taxable?
Client's w2 has minor amount in box 1, and much larger same amount in box 5 and box 11. Box 1 amounts seems to be a medicare tax amount as it's 1.45% of the amount reported in box 5 and 11. In this case, box 11 amount appears to be a contribution to NQDC, not a distribution from it. However, when I input these numbers into Proseries's w2 worksheet, box 11 amount flows to schedule 1, line 8t and becomes taxable. Should I just omit box 11 amount in w2 worksheet? Or input numbers into w2 worksheet as is, then input negative amount to zero it out in other income adjustment? Or any other way to work around?
