does double time pay count towards the overtime premium?

Yes, double time is a form of premium pay that counts as a higher tier of overtime.  

 

TurboTax has a 2025 Overtime Calculator that you can use to calculate how much of your overtime pay is eligible for a deduction.  Refer to the TurboTax article No Tax on Overtime Calculator

 

For tax year 2025, your employer may list non-taxable overtime in box 14 with a specific label like "FLSA OT Prem". You might also receive a separate year-end statement giving you the amount. Otherwise, you must calculate the overtime premium to enter on your tax return.

 

In TurboTax Online, this is how you enter the qualified overtime premium:

  1. After entering your form W-2, you'll see a screen titled Let's Check for Other Situations
  2. Put a checkmark on Overtime and click Continue
  3. Follow the TurboTax questionnaire to enter your qualified overtime premium
  4. This deduction will transfer to Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, with that amount flowing to line 13b of your form 1040.

 

Refer to the TurboTax article How do I enter overtime pay in TurboTax Online? and  I Worked Overtime This Year — My W-2 Pay Doesn’t Show it. for detailed instructions to enter your overtime.

 

For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article No Tax on Overtime Explained: Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules for 2025.
