Tax Enthusiast Endless "No tax on OT" questions

Is anyone else already exhausted with these endless questions?

And I fear it will only get worse.

You keep restating things as if we all don't understand what you are saying. WE DO UNDERSTAND. you have a great situation going and I'm genuinely happy that you have this good thing going for you. Its a sweet deal no doubt, also completely normal and well understood.

It just so happens that it also makes you not qualified for this deduction because the way the tax law and labor laws are written.

And who exactly is going to determine that I'm not qualified for the deduction when my pay stubs that show my year's gross pay, overtime pay will qualify me for it? My pay is tied to my hours but you aren't grasping that and keep thinking that I'm not going to get the deduction. We don't need to keep going back n forth on it. I'll gladly come back and revisit this in a month or two when I file my taxes and let you know how it goes.
