Calculation Steps (Schedule 1-A Math)

Step 1: Compute Qualified Overtime Premium (The 'Half' Rule)
400 OT hours × ($32.00 base rate × 0.5)
= $6,400.00
Step 2: Apply Statutory Filing Cap
Min(Qualified Premium $6400.00, Cap $12,500)
= $6,400.00
Step 3: Test MAGI Income Phase-Out
MAGI ($75,000) is at or below $150,000 threshold
= No phase-out reduction ($0.00)
Step 4: Final Allowed Schedule 1-A Deduction
Eligible ($6400.00) - Phase-out ($0.00)
= $6,400.00
Step 5: Compute Net Tax Saved & Per-Paycheck Impact
$6400.00 deduction × 22% marginal tax rate
= $1,408.00 / year ($54.15 per biweekly check)

Crucially, the deduction applies only to the FLSA overtime 'premium' (the half in time-and-a-half pay), not regular base wages, and begins phasing out for taxpayers with Modified AGI over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint returns).

How does the IRS 'No Tax on Overtime' deduction work in 2026?
The No Tax on Overtime provision allows eligible hourly employees to deduct qualified overtime premium pay from their federal taxable income on Schedule 1-A (Form 1040) for tax years 2025 through 2028, up to $12,500 for single filers and $25,000 for married joint filers.
What is the Qualified Overtime Premium and the 'half' rule?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular rate. The IRS deduction applies ONLY to the 0.5x 'half' premium portion. The 1.0x regular base wage earned during overtime hours remains fully taxable.
What are the deduction caps for single and married filers on Schedule 1-A?
The annual deduction cap for overtime is $12,500 for Single and Head of Household filers, and $25,000 for Married Filing Jointly. Qualified tips have an independent cap of $25,000.
How does the MAGI income phase-out reduce my overtime deduction?
The deduction phases out once your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) exceeds $150,000 for single filers or $300,000 for married couples filing jointly. The deduction is reduced by $100 for every $1,000 of MAGI above these thresholds (a 10% phaseout rate), phasing out completely at $275,000 (single) and $550,000 (joint).
Are overtime earnings completely exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes?
No. The deduction applies solely to federal income tax. You and your employer still owe standard FICA payroll taxes (6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare) on all overtime compensation.
How is the 'No Tax on Tips' deduction calculated alongside overtime?
Both deductions are claimed on Schedule 1-A (Form 1040). Qualified tips received in eligible tipped occupations can be deducted up to $25,000, subject to the same $150,000 (single) and $300,000 (joint) MAGI phase-out thresholds.
Where do I report the overtime and tips deduction on Form 1040?
The deduction is calculated on Schedule 1-A (Additional Deductions) and transferred to Form 1040 to reduce your taxable income. It can be claimed whether you take the standard deduction or itemize deductions.
Where will employers report qualified overtime compensation on Form W-2?
Beginning in tax year 2026, employers are required to report qualified FLSA overtime premium pay separately in Box 12 of Form W-2 using Code TT, making it simple to transfer into Schedule 1-A.
