Box 12d code TT is not available in the drop-down, but I have to select something. What should I use

This code is new for the "no tax on overtime" law. So maybe it hasn't been built in yet, but my employer entered it into box 12d. Google says this "signifies the total amount of qualified overtime compensation you received."

Should I keep the default that FreeTaxUSA read (T -adoption benefits) which would make no sense, or delete that line item altogether and enter that amount on the next page where it asks about overtime?

Hi k8empire,

We don't have that code in the 2025 software. I wonder if your employer used a 2026 code.  I recommend that you leave box 12d code TT blank and enter the description in box 14 as "Box 12d, code TT, with the amount and then fill in the OT and Tips page by using the calculation to figure out your deduction.
