You literally contradicted yourself in the same paragraph.
You said the law “has no effect on anything the employer is doing,” and then immediately said that starting in 2026 the W-2 has to show overtime hours.
Who do you think generates W-2s? The IRS fairy?
That’s an employer reporting requirement. Payroll systems have to track, classify, and report those wages correctly. That’s exactly the kind of implementation guidance employees ask about when a compensation-related law changes.
No one asked a company to prepare someone’s tax return. That was a strawman you invented so you could argue with it.
Payroll compliance does not equal personal tax filing.
did you use ai to write this slop?

If that reads like AI to you, that might explain the confusion earlier.

If half your pay is ot, then that means that 1/3 of half your pay is eligible for the deduction. So 1/6. So if you make 150k that’s 25,000 in eligible premium.
If you go to an accountant be sure to bring your last pay stub of 2025. That will ensure they see the full picture if payroll didn’t get your OT premium on your W2.

This seems simple enough that TurboTax type software should be able to handle it?

Not sure how time and a half comes into play for those schedules though. I just assumed it’s time and a half once he reaches 40 hours for 7 days.
That's how it works. Most are hourly. 12 hr shifts, 14 days straight. 2x 7-day pay periods, so almost half the hitch is on OT. Not a bad gig if you can make a hand.

Find a couple near the house you can go and sit with. Interview them - they work for you. If you only have the W2 income, it isn't hard and you can get away with using TurboTax. If you do any work on the side like alot of guys - landscaping, farming, etc. - it's worth it.

They don't understand the dynamic: existing clients come first, and are already going to stretch staff to the limit. Someone wanders in a a month after they got their W-2 back is going to be told to file an extension, at best.
Yup my cutoff for new 1040 clients is 3/1 and for returning clients is 3/8. After that it’s extension

I don’t get OT, I’m a cpa having to deal with this.
I fully understand why it’s a shite show. It’s still a shite show.
