Entering Oregon State Transit Tax Withholding

How do I enter the Oregon STI Tax Withholding reported on Form W-2 Box 14?

Solution:

1. Go to Screen 10, Wages, Salaries, Tips.
2. In the Wages section, scroll down to Box 14, input field "Oregon statewide transit tax withheld {OR}" (code 230)
3. Enter the STI tax withheld from box 14 of the Form W-2

Note : Entering the STI tax withheld in input field "Oregon statewide transit tax withheld {OR}" ( Screen 10, code 230) will include the amount on Federal Schedule A, Line 5a. However, Lacerte will NOT include the STI tax withheld entered here on Oregon Schedule OR-A Line 5.

The Oregon State Transit Tax (STI) withholding is NOT deductible on the Oregon state tax return and cannot be claimed on Oregon Schedule OR-A as it is an Oregon income tax.
