- Have a Tax Question?
As part of the sweeping tax and economic updates included in what’s being widely referred to as “The Big Beautiful Bill,” several changes are aimed directly at working Americans — especially those earning overtime income.
Overtime compensation remains fully taxable, but the way it is reported, tracked, and potentially optimized has gained renewed attention due to:
Expanded employer reporting requirements
Greater IRS focus on wage classification accuracy
New compliance rules tied to payroll transparency
While no blanket exemption was created for overtime income, the legislation reinforces the importance of proper withholding, documentation, and year-round planning for individuals who rely heavily on overtime to support their households.
If you earn overtime pay — whether hourly, seasonal, or project-based — these changes can impact:
Your total taxable income
Your withholding accuracy
Eligibility for credits and deductions
Risk of underpayment penalties
Small discrepancies across multiple pay periods can add up quickly, especially for workers in healthcare, logistics, public safety, construction, and manufacturing.
