Understanding the No Tax on Tips & Overtime Policy
The No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime policies represent one of the largest tax cuts for working Americans in recent history. These provisions eliminate federal income tax on tipped wages and overtime pay, putting more money directly into the pockets of hard-working Americans.

Key Statistics
Retroactive Benefits
Both policies are retroactive to 2025, meaning you may be eligible for a refund on taxes already paid on tips and overtime income earned this year. When you file your 2025 taxes, your tipped wages and overtime pay will be excluded from taxable income, potentially resulting in a larger refund.
