Deductible Overtime Report
The Deductible Overtime Report will provide a breakdown of overtime hours that may be deducted from federal income tax years 2025 - 2028 (according to the OBBBA).
To access this report:
Click on the ‘Reports’ icon from the Main Menu, or from the tab
Select ‘Deductible Overtime’.
Using the filters select specific pay periods and weeks, or select a date range to compile data.
According to OBBBA Qualified Overtime Pay, only the hours worked in a week count towards overtime eligibility (therefore excluding non-working hours like holiday, time off, unpaid time to be factored into overtime calculation).
Examples
Employee has 36 hours Regular time, 4 hours OT (early call in, premium pay, etc), 3 hours comp TAKEN
The 4 hours of OT are not deductible as the employee did not have a total over 40 with ‘working’ hours (regular + OT)
nothing will show on the deductible OT report
Employee has 36 hours Regular time, 4 hours OT (early call in, premium pay, etc), 3 hours comp EARNED
The 36+4+3 = 43. All three types are consiered ‘working’ hours, therefore, the hours over 40 are considered deductible.
3 hours will show on the deductible OT report
