NJ unemployment tax and disablity insurance

[grandmabee]

on a W-2. they put it in local tax but no local wages. I am trying to imput but can't see where it goes so it will go onto the sch. A the w-2 shows NJ-UI and DI in box 20 of w-2 Any help? thanks

On the W2 entry screen, it should be input on "Line 14 Other." You'll note on the "Descrip" line there is a pull down that even has the name of the various New Jersey deductions.

thank you. I guess they put it in the wrong place on the w-2

It's not in the wrong place on the W-2, it's that the state of NJ has several options to put these items on the w-2 and one option is that the additional items may be placed in the area for local wages and amts. w/h'd. You can find this on the NJ tax website.

Many persons have NJSUI, NJTD, NJFLI, Sec125, 414H, all of which won't fit in Box 14, so they slop over to the area for local wages,etc.

And of course if you have trouble with this "See your local tax preparer". ;-)
