Data as of Nov 2026 · Source: IRS Schedule 1-A instructions & Notice 2025-69. Deduction caps are statutory for 2025–2028; brackets shown for 2025 and 2026

How the math works

Tips (IRC §224). Up to $25,000 of qualified cash tips is deductible if your occupation customarily and regularly received tips on or before Dec 31, 2024. The deduction shrinks $100 for every $1,000 of MAGI above $150,000, reaching zero at $270,000.

Overtime (IRC §225). Only the premium portion of FLSA §7 time-and-a-half counts: hours × rate × (1.5 − 1.0) = hours × rate × 0.5. If your employer pays double time, the extra 0.5× above the FLSA minimum does not qualify. Cap is $12,500 single / $25,000 joint, same 10%-per-$1,000 phaseout above $150,000.

Estimates only — not tax advice. Both deductions are claimed on the new IRS Schedule 1-A for tax years 2025–2028. Tips and OT remain subject to payroll (FICA) tax; the deduction only removes federal income tax. Verify with IRS Publication or a CPA before filing.
