Work a lot of overtime? There is a new federal deduction for it.
For 2025 through 2028, you can deduct up to $12,500 of the overtime premium (the extra half of time-and-a-half), or $25,000 if you file jointly. It phases out above $150,000 of income.
The catch: your employer has to report qualified overtime separately on your W-2. If your paystub does not break out overtime, ask HR now, before the W-2s go out in January.
