TurboTax has a 2025 Overtime Calculator that you can use to calculate how much of your overtime pay is eligible for a deduction.  Refer to the TurboTax article No Tax on Overtime Calculator   For tax year 2025, your employer may list non-taxable overtime in box 14 with a specific label like "FLSA OT Prem".

Otherwise, you must calculate the overtime premium to enter on your tax return.   In TurboTax Online, this is how you enter the qualified overtime premium: After entering your form W-2, you'll see a screen titled Let's Check for Other Situations Put a checkmark on Overtime and click Continue Follow the TurboTax questionnaire to enter your qualified overtime premium This deduction will transfer to Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, with that amount flowing to line 13b of your form 1040.   Refer to the TurboTax article How do I enter overtime pay in TurboTax Online? and  I Worked Overtime This Year — My W-2 Pay Doesn’t Show it. for detailed instructions to enter your overtime.   For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article No Tax on Overtime Explained: Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules for 2025.

This turns out not to be a bug, per se, in Turbotax, but a combination of a misinterpretation of the data input field on the step-by-step for employer withholding for a household employee, and the shielding of the user from the calculated amounts. Specifically the field titled "Social Security and Medicare tax withheld by state (withholding on state disability payments)" seems to imply that the total sum of funds withheld for the employee should be entered there. When that happens, the result is that on line 8 of the Schedule H, the word 'DISABILITY' appears with the number below it, but it is not entered into the actual line 8 box. Therefore, the form shows that the amount of tax owed is zero in line 25, which is incorrect. The reason the user entered data in that field was because the payroll company had generated a Schedule H to use, which showed the calculations for each of the taxes in Part I, lines 1-8. However, the Turbotax step-by-step screen does not ask for the actual social security and medicare taxes. Instead the step-by-step has the above-mentioned field for the Social Security and medicare tax, which confused the taxpayer, who thought they needed to enter the sum of the taxes calculated by the payroll company in that field. Note that the field mentioned also has a parenthetical comment that the number refers to withholding on state disability payments. But since this is parenthetical and the field name refers to social security and medicare taxes, it was confusing. Once the taxpayer removed that data, the resulting Schedule H was corrected. I mention all this because in a more than 3-hour phone conversation with Turbotax help, plus the initial response to the problem report, no one identified the actual problem and data entry error. You should know that the way we discovered the solution to the problem was to ask the Claude A.I platform about the problem. It precisely pinpointed the problem. Specifically, it said:   "The reason is the "Line 8 — Taxes Withheld from State Disability Payments Smart Worksheet" that TurboTax is running. It's treating the $1,823 as coming from state disability withholding payments and offsetting it to zero on line 8, rather than flowing through the normal calculation from lines 2, 4, 6, and 7. This appears to be a TurboTax data entry issue. The $1,823 disability figure (likely from your nanny's state disability insurance) seems to have been entered in the wrong field, causing TurboTax to net it out incorrectly."   Is this a bug? No exactly. But Turbotax could probably be a little more helpful in guiding data input, AND, Intuit help personnel might be well advised to know about this potential likelihood of taxpayers entering data incorrectly.   I hope the above information is helpful to you. If you need further information, or screen shots to further elucidate this report, let me know. Also, we created a mock tax return file that easily illuminates the problem -- that is, shows the incorrect Schedule H when data is entered incorrectly in the above-mentioned field, and the correct Schedule H when no data is entered in that field. If you need this test file uploaded, let me know.   Fred Gluck    

The extension gives you until October 15, 2026, to file your taxes without getting a failure to file penalty.  You don't get extra time to pay your taxes so you must pay any taxes that you may have that are due by April 15, 2026, so you won't be assessed the failure to pay penalty.   Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I file an IRS tax extension? for instructions. If you need to file a state extension, review the article How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?
