Senator to introduce 'no tax on overtime" legislation
- Senator Roger Marshall and colleagues introduced legislation on Tuesday to exempt overtime wages and tips from federal taxes with income limits and caps.
- The proposal stems from President Trump's 2024 campaign promise to not tax overtime pay, but Marshall's version narrows the scope to contain costs and target middle-income workers.
- The bill limits the amount of overtime earnings eligible for tax exemption to $10,000 for single filers earning under $100,000 and to $20,000 for couples with incomes below $200,000, representing a more restricted approach compared to prior legislation that allowed higher exemption amounts and income thresholds.
- Marshall said the bill could reduce taxpayers' annual tax burden by as much as $4,000, and Trump emphasized that it encourages greater workforce participation while backing hardworking Americans.
- The legislation aims to codify Trump's tax priorities into law, signaling a marker for future negotiations, though GOP leaders have yet to decide its inclusion in a broader tax bill.
