Someone is making $50 an hour

And then work 50 hours, 10 hours OT for 75$ an hour ($750)

Are they
A) tax exempt on the whole $750, or
B) they pay taxes on 500$ from $50 hr base,
Then tax exempt on the 250$ from the 25$ rate.

The money you made at x1.5 or more your normal hourly will not count as taxable income.

Pretty simple.

I think it will work like this. Especially if it's up to the IRS.

I hope that's the answer.

I can't believe it's actually called One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

To you and I it is that simple but to politicians, it will not be that simple... You can bet on that...

I am a fan of getting rid of all the taxes we can and I will take it a piece at the time but I really wish the R's would focus their efforts on revamping the entire tax code, simplifying it, and gutting the IRS in the process...

Let's say you normally make $20/hour and you work 40 hours. Well, $800 is taxable, so you get to keep around $600 or so. Anything over that, you get to keep. So if you work an extra 10 hours that week, that makes $200. Then this paycheck will be around $800 or so instead of $700 or so.

I wouldn't count on that happening though. Plus, they'd probably still make you pay FICA on your overtime and of course, the state would still get theirs.

If the IRS gets to decide how to interpret a tax law, it will always interpret it in the way that results in the most revenue being collected.

The company o work for breaks it down all separately this way on stub

In this scenario

It’ would have
50 hours @ 50$ an hour $2500
10 hours @ 1.5 rate 25$ an hour $250

No. You really didn't. You should a) read the bill and then b) understand who issues treasury regs in the event that their is "room for interpretation"

Don’t worry about it. Just let TurboTax or your accountant figure it out.

As a CPA, I can tell you that none of this matters in practice. If it is left up to interpretation, whatever results in the most revenue being collected is what the IRS will require. To most people, it isn't worth fighting. The IRS knows this.

Well, CPA. Have you read the bill?
