It refers to the Fair Labor Standards Act Overtime Payroll.  In box 14 of the W-2, select 'Overtime'.

 

For the qualified overtime deduction:   

 

  • Maximum annual deduction is $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers).
  • Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers).
