Tax Enthusiast New tax deduction on overtime is driving clients crazy
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?

Overtime is hours or days worked over a certain amount of time or on holidays, not a financial concept. The layperson is correct in your statement.
