If you’re a W-2 employee, the scrubs, license fees and mileage you pay for yourself can’t come off your federal income tax return, and that rule is now permanent.
On your federal income tax return, nurses can deduct up to $12,500 a year of qualifying overtime from 2025 through 2028. Georgia went its own way with a $1,750 state overtime exclusion for 2026 through 2028. So your federal return and your Georgia state income tax return treat the same overtime hours differently.
How you’re paid doesn’t decide whether you get a tax break. It decides which ones you get.
