Topic: Understanding the OBBBA’s New Overtime Tax Deduction
Join us for a concise, one-hour webinar explaining the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s (OBBBA) new federal income tax deduction for qualified overtime compensation—a significant tax change now in effect for tax years 2025 through 2028.
Under the OBBBA, eligible employees may deduct up to $12,500 of the “premium” portion of mandatory FLSA overtime pay (or $25,000 for joint filers) each year. The deduction applies only to the “half” component of time and a half overtime pay required under the Fair Labor Standards Act and phases out for higher income taxpayers.
This webinar will break down:
- Who qualifies for the deduction and how “qualified overtime compensation” is defined.
- Key IRS guidance on calculating the deductible amount.
- Practical steps employees and employers should take to correctly track, report, and claim the deduction going forward.
We hope you’ll join us for this informative session and gain clarity on how the OBBBA overtime deduction may impact you or your organization. Register today to ensure you’re prepared for the changes ahead.
