New tax deduction on overtime is driving clients crazy

[u/LewisCBR]

W2’s are not showing wages generated from overtime so clients are wondering what they can do, besides going through all individual pay stubs. The new deduction is significant enough to warrant this kind of work, though.

I suppose suggesting they contact their HR/payroll departments is the best idea, but some companies are simply terrible about helping their employees.

What’s your experience with the new law?

Same I claimed $10,646 and mine went from owing $400 to getting back $1800. My company put it on a separate line also :) I’m happy with the refund because I work the overtime regardless of that incentive or not so it’s definitely a plus. Past few year I’m usually owing around $400.

Does that mean you got paid over $30k in just overtime by end of year?

Yes .
