@ mimisue1979    When I re-read your question, I'm confused about something.    Does  your statement above in your original question mean that on your W-2 that Box 7 (Social security tips) is empty?   If so,  I'm not sure the significance of that, but I'm a fellow user, not a tax expert.  I was answering mainly to tell you where the overtime section is located.     I'm going to ask one of the TurboTax tax experts to look at this thread during the day and provide you further comment about your W-2, Boxes 1 and 7.

@ mimisue1979  EDIT NOTE:   Added 1/15/26 at 11:30 PM Pacific. Also see my next comment that appears after this one.   My comment here mainly was to tell you how to get to the overtime screens.   As for the boxes on your W-2, I'm going to ask a tax expert to review what you said about your W-2, Box 1 and 7. ************************   Original answer: If you need to enter overtime information, that can be done after the W-2 screen.   And if you have a separate non-standard statement showing the overtime, as it sounds you will soon have, here's how to get there.   After entering the regular W-2 data, you will come to a screen that says "Let's Check for Unusual Situations."   I believe the first in the list of situations is "overtime", and you can place a checkmark.  Also indicate any of the other situations (if any) that apply to you, and click at the bottom to continue.    By checkmarking "overtime", that lets the program know to present you with the overtime screens where it will help you determine if you are qualified and enter the overtime info.

Apparently TurboTax hasn't yet finished programming and testing that section.  As a result, the Retirement Income section is not yet fully functional.  It is currently expected to be available next week on 1/21/2026, although projected dates are subject to change in either direction.

The 2026 startup costs are essentially adding upgrades to my home that I otherwise would not add, for example, soundproofing some walls, adding an outlet in a hallway for a refrigerator, installing an extra thermostat, and installing a keypad-coded entry door lock. My house burned down in the Palisades fire. I am rebuilding in 2026. Obviously, I can't engage in business activity until the home is rebuilt. Things like furniture, beddings, etc will be purchased in 2027 and I will start doing business immediately after those purchases.
