This is the first return I am doing with overtime. It is not on her W-2 but her employer gave her a letter stating the overtime hours, overtime pay YTD and Overtime Premium YTD. On the W-2 form it asks for the amount on line 14 from the W-2. Since it is not on the W-2, do I still enter it there. Also, since it is not on the W-2, I know I heard something about doing an attachment to the return. I am not sure how to do that. Thank you.

scroll down down down the W2 worksheet to the OT section, no attachments needed

As long as you are just singing that as opposed to actually doing that at work, I think you are ok. 😁

If they calculated it & gave me the 'Overtime Premium YTD", then I would just scroll down the W2 worksheet, to near the bottom of it, and on line 14d, I would check the NO box and put the Overtime Premium amount there. Eliminates the worry of time and a half and double-time calcs.

How do I overwrite if it's giving me an error because the OT its 1/3 and it's greater than the wages in box.1 This is my second client with the same scenario.
Tried to convert/transmit return but it would not work.
Thank you

@mariposanegrete , I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. The amount in W2 Box 14 labeled as overtime is greater than the amount in W2 Box 1?

No, the amount of OT its 1/3 of the total wages in box 1, (eg: Wages 12k, OT 4k. )
I was able to overwrite the error and submit the return.
Sorry for the confusion

Are you saying that the overtime Premium is $4,000, or that the overtime wages are $4,000? Really Big Difference.
If you are using $4,000 as the overtime premium, (i.e. reducing taxable income by $4,000), then by mathematical logic, you are saying that ALL $12,000 in Box 1 are overtime wages. Which defies logic.
Overtime premium of $4,000 equals $4,000 of deduction
Overtime Wages of $4,000 will generate $,1333.33 of deduction. (assuming only time and a half, no double-time)
