How do I enter the letter code TT for box 12 when it is not in the dropdown list?

[lemoinekj]

W2 has TT which stands for the total amount of qualified overtime compensation in box 12, but TT is not an option to select from the select a letter code dropdown list.

Box 12 is informational only.  Since there isn't a dropdown for code TT currently, enter all of the other information from your W-2. Continue through the interview and you will be asked if you have any uncommon situations, including overtime. Select that you have the uncommon situation of overtime, then a series of questions will be generated.

On the screen "Let's see if your overtime qualifies as tax-free," select "No help needed—I know what to enter." You'll then be asked if you are an exempt or not an exempt employee (exempt employees are not eligible for the overtime deduction).  Now, you can enter the deductible overtime.
