Form W-2 - Nonqualified Plans
1

If an amount is reported in Box 11 of your Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement for Nonqualified Plans, you need to report it in the TaxAct program in the W-2 section, and the TaxAct program will transefer the information to Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, Line 1. When the return is printed, per IRS Instructions for Form 1040 and 1040-SR, the letters "DFC" will print next to Line 1.

Per IRS Instructions for Form W-2, page 7:

Box 11. This amount is (a) reported in box 1 if it is a distribution made to you from a nonqualified deferred compensation or nongovernmental section 457(b) plan, or (b) included in box 3 and/or 5 if it is a prior year deferral under a nonqualified or section 457(b) plan that became taxable for social security and Medicare taxes this year because there is no longer a substantial risk of forfeiture of your right to the deferred amount. This box shouldn’t be used if you had a deferral and a distribution in the same calendar year. If you made a deferral and received a distribution in the same calendar year, and you are or will be age 62 by the end of the calendar year, your employer should file Form SSA-131, Employer Report of Special Wage Payments, with the Social Security Administration and give you a copy.
