Key Points

  • Creates a federal income tax deduction for certain overtime pay, which could lower some workers’ taxable income.
  • Covers regular overtime required by federal wage law (the extra pay above your normal hourly rate after overtime hours).
  • Also covers some “overtime-like” extra pay under pre-made worker-employer agreements, including certain transportation workers on special schedules.
  • Applies starting with tax years after December 31, 2024, meaning it could affect recent and future tax returns if it becomes law.
  • How much you benefit would depend on how much overtime you work and whether your extra pay fits the bill’s definitions.
