Ballot Measure on Taxing Tips and Overtime
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The law allows workers to deduct up to $12,500 in overtime and $25,000 in tips from federal taxable income, providing tax relief for middle-income earners through 2028.
- On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act at the White House, exempting federal income tax on tips and overtime wages.
- Following its passage earlier this month, the law extended tax cuts set to expire at the end of this year and made good on a campaign promise to create tax breaks on overtime and tip income, with deductions expiring in 2028.
- Under the new law, workers can deduct up to $12,500 in overtime and $25,000 in tips, IRS fact sheet says, with deductions phasing out above income thresholds.
- However, a conservative political group pushed back, opposing Colorado's Tax Expenditure Adjustment Bill to continue taxing overtime pay.
- By Oct. 2, 2025, the IRS must publish a list of occupations that regularly received tips on or before Dec. 31, 2024, and Faulkender said the rulemaking process will move forward soon.
