T/P RECEIVED A SUPPLEMENTAL FORM W-2 DATA FOR FEDERAL TAX RETURN IN THE FORM OF A "LETTER".  DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE/HOW TO SHOW THIS MANUALLY.SO THAT IT WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO SCHEDULE 1A. 

Please assist.  Thanks.

a bunch of them are coming in with letters with the premium OT amount (even the USPS employees) - input it in the same place on w-2 input worksheet. And what is different about a letter you can keep for support instead of the last paystub?

same place, down at the bottom of the W2 worksheet in the OT section.

I am astounded over the number of folks being stumped on overtime this year.  I’m guessing the number of questions next year might be cut in half when the amounts have to be on the W-2.😳
