What is EX TO Wages

[KeshaH]

If you are in Alabama, EX OT in box 14 of your W-2 represents the overtime income you earned in 2024 that is exempt from state tax. The exempted wages should already be reflected in box 16 of your W-2 (state wages). This exemption does not impact your federal tax return.

How does it impact AL taxes? It does not appear to have been subtracted from box 16 on the W2.

[KeshaH]

The exempt overtime isn't subject to tax in Alabama, so it'd ultimately reduce your Alabama taxable income. If box 16 of your W-2 includes the exempt overtime, you will need to contact your employer for a corrected Form W-2.

Where in trubotax do you enter the alabama exempt overtime amount for the deduction in taxable wages

Your employer should have already reduced your income listed in Box 16 on your W-2. 

The income in Box 16 on your W-2 is what will be reported on your Alabama state return.

I have a value in Box 14 on my AL W-2 with description "EX OT", what do I need to select in Category pulldown menu on Turb Tax?

[KeshaH]

You should just select "Other".
