Where on the tax form do I insert my amounts for TCOLA?

"Territorial Cost of living allowance" where do I fill that amount on my returns?

The Territorial Cost–of–Living Allowance (TCOLA) is an amount given to government employees stationed in specific high-cost areas (e.g., postal employees).

It is generally not taxable (not considered part of your gross income for federal income tax purposes); however, any overtime pay calculated on top of your base salary, including the TCOLA portion, would be taxable.

Did you receive a tax form with an amount on it?
