@LandedGentry@lemmy.zip points out that the OP is mistaken.

Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.

I never understood how he could even promise to exempt overtime from taxes. Tips, I understand, but overtime is lumped in with your wages on your W2.

How would the IRS be able to tell your overtime wages apart from your regular pay?

Your employer would declare it as such when they do payroll.

My pay slips have a separate line for regular pay and overtime pay at a different rate.

The IRS doesn't care about your paystubs (unless you're being audited). They only care about the W2, and there isn't a box for "overtime wage" on it. It's all lumped into the same box

So they will... add a box?
