It should have been included in your W-2 wages. If so, then you will just enter your W-2 and there is nothing extra you will need to do. There is no explanation needed as it is part of your income and not treated any differently than pay you receive for working.
If it was not included in your W-2 wages, you will need to contact your employer for a corrected W-2 that includes your unused PTO.
