    To Enter Qualified Overtime in TurboTax Desktop 2025:

     

    1. Go to the Wages & Income section and enter your W-2.
    2. After entering your W-2, proceed through the screens until you reach "Let's check for other situations" or "Uncommon Tax Situations".
    3. Check the box next to Overtime and click Continue.
    4. Follow the prompts and enter your overtime amounts from your year-end pay stub or other source. Note that the deduction applies only to the "premium" portion (e.g., the "half" in time-and-a-half).
    5. Indicate if you are a non-exempt employee, which is generally required to claim this federal deduction.
