Overtime deduction doesn’t include hours?

awrig1 — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 01:16:23 GMT

When I check the “overtime” box in the income section, it prompts me to input my overtime rate (difference between normal hourly and time +1/2). For me this ends up being around $16. However, there is nowhere to input how many hours of overtime I worked, so when I get to the end of the “overtime” section, it says “deduction for overtime” is $16, as if it’s deducting one hours worth of overtime for the entire year. How do I fix this so all the hours of overtime I worked are accounted for?

If you choose "No help needed" do not just enter the premium difference (in your case 16) enter the entire amount of premium for 2025.

So if you earn a $16 premium and worked 10 hours of overtime, enter 160.

Next year the Overtime should be clearly reported, but for 2025 you need to enter the entire amount of overtime premium that you earned.

(some employers reported the amount in Box 14 on your W-2 or as a separate line item on your last paystub)

If you want the program to determine the amount, you will enter the premium ( in your case $16) AND the number of overtime hours you worked. The program will then multiply the premium by the number of hours worked.
