Do you have amounts in Box 8?  I am guessing you do.  Please read below and understand that you won't be able to use Free Editon as you need Form 4137 in order to report unreported tips.  You can look into qualifying for and using the Free File program if you are averse to upgrading.  

 

W-2, Box 8 are Allocated Tips, your share of an amount figured by subtracting the reported tips of all employees from 8% (or an approved lower rate) of food and drink sales (other than carryout sales and sales with a service charge of 10% or more). Your share of that amount was figured using either a method provided by an employer-employee agreement or a method provided by IRS regulations based on employees' sales or hours worked. For information about the exact allocation method used, ask your employer.

 

If you received any tips that you did not report to your employer as required (including allocated tips that you are required to report on your tax return), TurboTax will add these tips to the amount in box 1 of your Form(s) W-2 and report this amount as wages on Form 1040.
