Yes.

But the deduction is for the overtime premium, which is the portion over your regular pay.

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. This line includes the overtime deduction among other deductions if applicable, such as the tip deduction, the additional senior deduction or the car loan interest deduction.
