No Tax on Border Patrol Agent Overtime Act
Border Patrol: Tax-Free Overtime Pay
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Ways and Means for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While border security is a major topic, tax breaks for specific groups of workers usually face an uphill battle unless they are part of a larger tax package.
Key Points
- This bill would stop the federal government from taxing the overtime pay earned by border patrol agents. It covers several types of extra pay, including supplemental pay and premium pay for working long hours.
- Border patrol agents would see more money in their take-home pay because their extra hours would no longer be subject to federal income tax. This is intended to help with recruitment and reward agents for working in difficult conditions.
- The change would apply to all tax years starting after December 31, 2025. This means agents would likely see the benefits on their tax returns or in their paychecks starting in 2026.
