I have the desktop version of Turbo Tax 2025 and am in an occupation that qualifies for the new deduction for tips. My employer included my tips in box 1 but not in box 7 nor box 14. They say they will not issue a corrected w2 but instead I should use the tip figure from my last pay stub of 2025. dI saw this response to an earlier question: "Watch for the February update. TurboTax is adding a "Tipped Occupation" section that'll ask if you received tips included in Box 1 but not listed in Box 7. You’ll be able to enter the amount from your last pay stub there." When will this update be coming out for the Desktop version?

Yes, you can do this in TurboTax Desktop now. After you enter your W-2, TurboTax asks if your Box 1 included 'tips not reported on W-2'. Then you can enter the amount your Unreported Tips from your last pay stub. There's a few more questions after that. Keep going until you see the amount of your tips deduction.



Thanks for your response, but my employer DID report my tips, in box 1, box 3 and box 5. But they did not put the amount in box 7 as they should have, nor did they put the amount in box 14. Turbo Tax Support has advised me to write it into box 14 myself with a description to indicate these ARE reported tips but were not entered in Box 7.
If you are going to enter them yourself you need to make sure that the category shows "Reported Tips (Not Railroad Tips)" in order to have them removed from your taxable income.
