It’s time to expand no-tax-on-overtime to all workers... I’m proud to lead this meaningful legislation with Senator Cantwell.
Expand the no-tax-on-overtime provision to cover all workers.
Occurrences
Evidence
IRS Notice 2025-69 says the overtime deduction applies only to "qualified overtime compensation" required under FLSA section 7, with limits and reporting rules, and it does not change FLSA overtime rights. The notice also explains that the deduction is based on overtime required by federal law, not all overtime paid under state law or contracts.
The article says Treasury data released June 2 showed 97% of filers got a tax cut and more than 29 million filed no-tax-on-overtime claims.
MarketWatch says the deduction only exempts the extra overtime premium, not the entire overtime payment, and that state-specific or company-offered overtime is excluded.
Assessments
A federal no-tax-on-overtime deduction was enacted and is already being used during the candidate's current federal term, so there is some delivery. But the enacted policy is materially narrower than the promise to cover all workers: IRS Notice 2025-69 limits the deduction to qualified overtime compensation required under FLSA section 7, excluding overtime paid only under state law, contracts, or broader employer policies, and reporting indicates it applies only to the overtime premium rather than all overtime pay. That means the promised all-workers expansion was not fully achieved. Given the evidence shows a real but incomplete policy outcome, the best adjudication is partial with same-term timing.
