Colorado Overtime premium add back.

LB200 · ‎February 15, 2026

I am filling out my 2025 taxes and taking advantage of the federal overtime deduction (OBBBA). My understanding is that I need to add back the deducted overtime premium when completing the Colorado state return. I’m using TurboTax Online, but I don’t see a specific place to enter this—unless it falls under Income → Miscellaneous Additions.
Does anyone know where this adjustment should be entered?
Thank you.

You do not have to add the qualifying overtime deduction to the Colorado income tax return.

If you report the qualifying overtime deduction on the Federal return, the Colorado income tax return adjusts the deduction back automatically.

Hi JamesG1,
Thank you for your reply. I’m still a bit confused. When I preview my Colorado state return in TurboTax (under Tax Tools), the Colorado calculation for “Federal Taxable Income” is pulling the amount directly from line 15 of my federal Form 1040 — which has the overtime premium removed.
However, my understanding is that Colorado requires the overtime premium to be added back to Colorado taxable income, and that is not the case in Turbotax.
