If you have not electronically filed the tax return, review the IRS form W-2 entry where the Qualified Overtime Deduction was claimed, then enter the correct amount.

Follow these steps:

Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
Click the down arrow to the right of Wages & Salaries.
Click to the right of Wages and Salaries (W-2).
At the screen Let's check for other situations, select Overtime. Continue.

No help needed-I know what to enter.

For the Qualified Overtime Deduction:

Maximum annual deduction is $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers).
Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers).
The deduction reduces federal income tax liability, it does not exempt overtime pay from Social Security and Medicare taxes. Employees will still owe these taxes on their overtime earnings.
Taxpayers filing as married filing separately are not eligible for the deduction.
The deduction is available for both itemizing and non-itemizing taxpayers.
