You can enter the amount of overtime wages in TurboTax. Our help article (How to Enter Overtime Pay into Turbo Tax) details exactly how to do this.  

Follow these steps: 

1. Go to the W-2 screen under under Wages & Income.
2. Add or edit your W-2 for the employer where you worked overtime.
Look for the Let's check for other situations screen.
3. Check the box next to Overtime.
4. Continue until you see the Let’s see if your overtime qualifies as tax-free screen.
5. Select Help me calculate my eligible overtime.
6. Look for the What info do you have about your overtime screen.
7. Say Yes to Did you get a statement or letter from your employer with your eligible overtime?
8. TurboTax will ask you questions to help you find and enter the right amount.
