I have a W2 that is correct and the tips are in box 7. However, the software will not put this on schedule 1-A as a deduction. In Part III H1 I marked 1 using tips as my method of qualified tips and it doesn't put anything on line 1. How can I get this to flow properly?

Sounds like it s/b allowed then, but I don't speak PS (only Lacerte).

Hopefully a PS user will wander by with ideas.

It is working for me.

Maybe try deleting the W-2 worksheet and re-enter it???

I did try this and it still isnt working. I even updated my program thinking that may be the problem.

To get the No Tax on Tips to work, you have to continue through with the rest of the qualifying questions on the W-2 worksheet. Under Part III, you need to answer question 9 and 10, then you should see the amount go to Schedule 1-A

Yes I have done all of these things and still have zero on the tips to schedule 1-A line.

To be sure, you should check the filing status, the taxpayer cannot be filing married-separate. Also, you must select a qualifying occupation in line 9 of part III of the W-2 entry. Further, the taxpayer must have a valid social security number.
