Overtime income may be deductible under the new law. Dr. Friday explains the limits, eligibility, and key reporting rules.

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
One of the other things we’re looking at is the $12,500 of overtime pay that is deductible. Again, this can only be what’s on the time and the half—the half that’s above. They’re not taking and including that in the $12,500.
If you’re married and you both get overtime, $25,000. Again, you cannot exceed $150,000 if you’re single, $300,000 if you’re married. If you are self-employed, you’d have to have a W-2. I had someone ask me that earlier, and I’m like, that’s not gonna happen.
You do have to make sure you’re following all the proper technologies that they’re allowing for us to deduct and calculate this. If you’ve got questions, just give my firm a call.
