No tax on Overtime

I have a question on figuring the Overtime.  Can I use the employee's last pay stub from 2025 where the total gross equals what is on the W2?   The employer did not complete box 14 for overtime.

 

Is the following correct for input in the system?

In Part VII - Deductible Overtime

14.a. Is the employee exempt from FLSA overtime requirements?  Yes or No:  answer NO

     b.  Is an automated answer of No

     c.  Total Overtime at 150% (which is time and 1/2) from last check stub.   

This will calculate to 1/3 of total which should be correct.  Because as I understand the taxpayer only gets the amount that goes over their regular hourly rate.

 Please help!!

The employer did it correctly.  Overtime reporting is not required on W-2s until next year.  Use the pay stub.
