What Overtime Tax Tracker does

The One Big Beautiful Bill created something hourly workers have never had: a federal tax deduction for overtime. But it is not your overtime pay that is deductible — it is only the FLSA premium, the extra "half" of time-and-a-half you earn for hours over 40. Your time clock shows gross overtime dollars. Your paystub blends it into one number. Nobody isolates the piece the IRS actually lets you deduct on Schedule 1-A, up to $12,500 single or $25,000 married filing jointly. Overtime Tax Tracker does, one shift at a time. Set your base hourly rate, your standard workweek, and your filing status once. Then log overtime the way you actually work it: the hours you went over 40 this week, at time-and-a-half or double-time. The app instantly strips out the deductible premium — base rate times the half — and stacks it toward your cap on a single running dial. You watch your No-Tax-on-Overtime deduction grow in real time instead of guessing in April. The home gauge shows your year-to-date deductible premium against the $12,500 or $25,000 ceiling, with a phase-out indicator that dims the cap as your estimated income climbs past $150,000. Total overtime pay sits right beside the deductible premium so you can see, at a glance, how much of your extra hours the deduction actually covers. At year end, your employer must report qualified overtime in W-2 Box 12 under Code TT. Punch that number into the Year-End Check and Overtime Tax Tracker reconciles it against everything you logged — so a payroll error that shorts your deduction does not quietly cost you money. Every shift stays in a clean history by pay period and month, ready to hand your preparer. Everything lives on your phone. No account, no payroll login, no server reading your wages. Log unlimited shifts for the current tax year for free; unlock multi-year history, married-filing-jointly modeling, phase-out projections, and CSV export for your tax pro.
