Your employer is supposed to tell you how much overtime pay you received that qualifies for the deduction. If they don't show it on the W-2 they should give you a separate statement.
If your overtime pay isn’t listed in box 14 of your W-2, look for it on:
Your year-end pay stub: This is your best resource if your W-2 doesn't have the info.
Statement or letter from your employer: Your employer may provide a separate written summary of your overtime earnings for the new tax laws.
If your pay stub shows a combined total for overtime (regular pay + premium), and you’re paid time-and-a half the IRS allows you to use one-third of that total as your deductible amount.
If you earned double-time pay, you can use one-fourth of the total overtime paid at double-time shown on your statement.
When you enter your W-2 info, we'll ask questions about your overtime and apply the deduction.
