What to do with other cafe 125 amount mentioned on W-2 summary form?

My W2 form has a line for Gross Pay, less other Cafe 125 line, and reported W-2 Wages. can i deducte the Cafe 125 amount if my employeer did not include that amount in the reported W-2 Wages line?

1. If your employer did not include that amount in your W-2 wages box, that means that it's already been deducted from that income. I don't think that you'd be allowed to deduct that twice. The W-2 summary form is just that -- a summary form for your information only. What does your W-2 indicate? That's what's important.
2. Any Section 125 deductions have already been subtracted from the amount in Box 1 on your W-2. You may not take any further deductions for those amounts.
