Overtime for All Workers Act – ensures left out workers get tax relief on overtime pay

Horsford pledges to extend overtime tax relief to workers who are otherwise excluded.

Workers were also promised overtime relief, yet millions remain excluded.

Horsford calls for broader overtime tax relief so excluded workers would be included.

Evidence

IRS Notice 2025-69 says the new overtime deduction applies only to qualified overtime compensation required by FLSA section 7. It is capped at $12,500 per return and excludes overtime paid only under state law, contracts, or other non-FLSA arrangements.

Official implementation confirms overtime tax relief exists, but many workers and many kinds of overtime are still excluded.

Horsford's official site listed a May 29, 2026 press release saying he introduced bipartisan legislation to give working families more tools to build financial security. The listing is generic and does not mention overtime.

Recent official activity shows worker-focused legislation, but not a direct move to expand overtime tax relief for left-out workers.

On June 4, 2026, Horsford used a Ways and Means hearing to press Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about the affordability crisis and why American families were still waiting for their money back.

Another recent official action focuses on affordability and refunds, not on fixing the overtime deduction's excluded-worker gap.

Assessments

never unknown

IRS guidance from 2025 confirms an overtime tax deduction exists, but it is limited to FLSA-qualified overtime and still excludes many of the 'left-out' workers covered only by state law, contracts, or other non-FLSA arrangements. The cited 2026 Horsford activity shows general worker-affordability advocacy, not a direct legislative or enacted fix to extend overtime tax relief to those excluded workers. That means the promised outcome was not delivered, and the evidence provided does not show a serious targeted attempt by Horsford that would justify an effort badge.
