TP is not a valid code for a 2025 W-2, so you cannot enter it in TurboTax. Code TP is tips. Your total tips should be included in the total wages in box 1 of your W-2, and the amount of tips should be shown in box 7 of your W-2. If the tips are in box 7, you can just ignore the code TP in box 12. After you enter the W-2, with the tips in box 7, TurboTax will ask some questions to determine if you are eligible for the deduction for tips.


If the tips are not in box 7, see the following FAQ for detailed instructions on how to proceed.
