• For self-employed individuals, the deduction cannot exceed net earnings from self-employment.
• there is an incomePhaseout: If modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $150,000 for single filers or $300,000 for married couples, the benefit gradually decreases

2025 Tax Year Update #1:

A tax deduction of up to $12,500 ($25,000 for married couples filing jointly) is available for overtime pay. However, it is crucial to understand that only the "time-and-a-half" component, which represents the excess amount beyond your regular hourly rate, is eligible for deduction. To illustrate, if your hourly wage is $20, your overtime rate would be $30, and the deductible amount would be $10/hour.

The deduction is phased out for individuals with incomes exceeding $150,000 (single) or $300,000 (married filing jointly).

*****Please note*****your 2025 W-2 may not specify this amount, so it is essential to obtain the necessary information from your final paycheck stub or employer. I will be verifying this information for all individuals to ensure you don’tmiss out. 😉 all information is subject to applicable tax laws and is dependent on personal circumstances

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give a quick bio for those who don’t know me. I have a 4 year degree in accounting from SCSU and have been doing taxes, payroll and accounting for over 20 years. My career began working in a small accounting firm with Mary C. Root, CPA in Litchfield over on 3rd street and I continued on to work for a large accounting firm in Willmar. I also worked as a payroll supervisor for about 5 years. I have had my own practice since 2012, having an office space open for a while but changed to working with tax clients and helping businesses with their payroll, bookkeeping and accounting needs from home or on location. Over the years, I have worked with businesses and clients in a multitude of professions. Give me a call or send me a message if I can be of any assistance!
