W2 Box 14 lists PEN LTD and carries it to Schedule A as a deduction.  

This is Clients total LTD over the course of 42 years. 

Why is it carrying to Schedule A?

what description did you give it? 

Youre the one that controls Box 14, when I type in PEN LTD in box 14, it doesnt automatically recognize what it is and assigns a category, I have to choose what it is.

@Just-Lisa-Now- did you notice that OTprem in box 14 transfers the amount to the OT worksheet?

I havent even tried, I just go direct to the OT section and enter it there.
