Where to report NON-taxable benefits paid?

My employees receive a non-taxable meal allowance daily (subsistence).  Although I have not deducted tax on this amount, the amount of subsistence is still included in total income box 14 of the T4 slip. Therefore, it shows that I did not withhold enough tax (even though I did).

Where should this amount be correctly reported on the T4, and why is it linking to box 14?

    Hi Teagan you have to go into set up settings payroll income.  To the right of your subsistence you have the option of setting it up as income, hourly, reimbursement etc.  By doing this you pick the options you need.  What it will do by picking reimbursements it will not list it under the incomes when entering payroll.  It will show on the right side of your screen instead.  Any subsistence reimbursement will not show on your T4.
