Does Intuit EasyACCT report W-2 code TT?
Short answer: Partly. Since release 2025.3.03 (2 April 2026) EasyACCT has box 12 codes TT and TP, and you attach 12TT to the overtime pay item. Intuit says the code tracks the 0.5 overtime, but a user who printed a test W-2 in August 2026 found all of the overtime pay in box 12, and Intuit hasn't answered. Check box 12 against your own premium before filing.
| Calculates code TT itself | Partly |
|---|---|
| What it uses | Install 2025.3.03 or later. In Write-Up or Batch Payroll > Update Company Files > Company Information > Default Payroll Information, pick code 12TT for the overtime GP item and 12TP for the reported-tips GP item. Defaults only reach employees added later, so set each existing employee separately. |
| Check the amount | Print the Earnings Report before the W-2s and compare each employee's box 12 TT with the premium you calculate. EasyACCT Professional has no W-2c; Intuit's Information Return System lists W-2c and W-3c, and the W-2/1099 Transfer moves the data there. |
What to watch
- If the overtime GP item holds the whole time-and-a-half pay, box 12 TT comes out too high: code TT is only the half-time premium. A workaround users describe (not Intuit's): keep the 0.5 premium in its own GP item with 12TT and the rest of the overtime pay in an item without it.
- Only FLSA overtime counts (hours over 40 in a workweek). State daily overtime and the extra part of double time don't.
- Tax year 2026: Intuit opened an early access build in October 2026 and calls it fully functional, but gives no general release date and doesn't say whether 12TT and 12TP change.
- Not documented: box 14b tip occupation codes, which the IRS requires with code TP, and whether the W-2 e-file carries TT and TP.
- No Intuit staff reply in the user threads on 12TT (August 2026) and on qualified overtime (opened 31 December 2025).
Check the number before the W-2 goes out
Export hours and earnings per workweek and run them through the free code TT calculator. It rebuilds the FLSA premium week by week (several rates, bonuses spread back, fluctuating workweek, weeks split by pay date) and runs in your browser. Big gaps usually come from bonuses, double time or state daily overtime.
