The TurboTax Help addresses tip income reported only in box 1 and in no other box of the W-2.
TurboTax is working on an update for this specific scenario to help you separate your tips from your regular wages. Please check back in February. TurboTax will be updated then to ask you the necessary questions to calculate your deduction.
It is not recommended to alter the information that is reported on your W-2.
You have tips in Box 1 (with wages) but not listed in Box 7 or 14
In some cases, your employer may have included your tips in your total wages (Box 1) but didn’t separately list them into Box 7 or Box 14. You might have to independently determine your tips.
If you're manually breaking out tips from Box 1, make sure the amount you claim matches the tip reports (Form 4070 or similar form) you gave your employer during the year, or your own daily tip log. And of course, make sure you’re eligible for this deduction.
