Overtime Premium Not Flowing to Schedule 1-A

deedee007 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 16:34:59 GMT

OT Premium is reported on my W-2, Box 14, in the amount of $2,034. I also entered this amount in the W-2 detail section.

I am filing Single, my wages are approximately $85,000, and I live and work in New York as a nurse (below the $150,000 threshold).

However, upon review, Schedule 1-A, Line 14a does not reflect the overtime premium.

Could you please advise?

Thank you.

The qualified overtime deduction is for overtime pay that is required by the Fairs Labor Standards Act of 1939.

Are you an employee exempt from the FLSA? At the screen Were you an exempt employee?, did you select I was not an exempt employee to qualify for the deduction?

Your employer can tell you whether you are an exempt employee.

You may also click on the hyperlink What's an exempt employee for direction. Exemptions from the minimum wage or overtime standards of the FSLA may also be found here.

I am not able to replicate the same issue of overtime not being deductible when the qualifications are met and checked in TurboTax.

Therefore, I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

TurboTax Online:

Sign into your online account.
Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

Open your return.
Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created. Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)
