Your employer would have reported your overtime in box 14  or in box 1.  Where is the overtime entered?

Overtime isn't reported in box 12 in 2025.  It may show up in box 14 and it will have a category of "Overtime'.

 

If it doesn't appear there, you will have an opportunity later in the interview to post it.

You can use your final pay stub to calculate the overtime.

 

To get credit for the deduction of Overtime pay.

  1. Post your W-2 exactly as it appears.
  2. Continue through the interview.
  3. You will reach the screen Let’s Check for Uncommon Situations
  4. Select the box that says Overtime.
  5. There are alternatives on how to enter this information
  6. If this information is NOT in box 14 on your W-2
  7. It may be on your final pay stub,
    1. You may be able to find the stub online, or
    2. Contact your employer

Qualified overtime isn't taxable in 2025.  This doesn't apply to the straight-time portion of ‌earnings.  

  • The straight time portion of the overtime hours is still taxed.
  • However, the additional 50% incentive is not.
  • Your full W-2 wages (including overtime) are reported on 1040 tax return.
  • The deduction is applied on line 13b of the same tax return.
  • Details of the entry can be found on Form 1A in Part III. 

For more information on the topic, see No tax on Overtime 

Employers may include Qualified Overtime in Box 14 of the W-2.
