Employers can put just about anything in box 14; it's a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2.

 

In TurboTax, enter Misc as the description from your W-2's box 14 on the first field in the row. Enter the dollar amount and select the Other Category. TurboTax will then determine if it impacts your tax return or not accordingly.
