NO TAX ON TIPS AND OVERTIME? READ THE FINE PRINT.
Recent federal tax-law changes created deductions for certain qualified tips and qualified overtime compensation — but not every dollar labeled “tips” or “overtime” automatically qualifies.
For qualified overtime, the deduction generally applies to the qualifying premium portion required under the Fair Labor Standards Act, not the entire overtime paycheck.
Income limits, reporting rules, occupation rules, and documentation can matter.
Employees: keep your pay records.
Employers: make sure payroll reporting is ready.
Taxpayers: do not assume social-media headlines tell the whole story.
