If you’re banking on tax-free overtime to boost your paycheck, you’re out of luck. Trump’s “big beautiful bill” doesn’t change what you’re paid; it changes what you’re taxed. That happens at tax time, not on payday. Employers will keep withholding taxes as usual, and it’s up to you to apply the deduction — if you qualify — when you file.

The bill extends portions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, provides deductions to eliminate income taxes on certain tips and overtime pay, and addresses other tax priorities of the Trump administration.
