To remove this from your 1040 ES calculations for next year follow these steps:

 

  1. Navigate to Other Tax Situations
  2. Scroll to Form W-4 and estimated taxes (you may need to indicate you wish to "see all" or "let me choose what I work on" to open this field
  3. Select Start (or Update)
  4. Select No When asked if you would like to update your W-4
  5. Select Review Now when asked "Do you want to review your income and deductions?"
  6. Continue to the Screen Enter Your 2024 W-2 Wage Information
  7. Enter a $0 in the box for Wages under 2024
  8. Click Continue
  9. Continue through to the end of this section, and your estimates should update accordingly

It is proper and normal for nonqualified pension plans to be reported on a W-2 and transferred to Other Income.  It's not normal for that number to then be doubled, but this appears to be a problem only on the ES worksheet and this workaround will resolve the issue.
