Federal Compliance Update
As we previously reported, H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act), was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The Act includes a federal income tax deduction for qualified overtime and qualified tips, effective for tax years 2025 through 2028.
For tax years 2026 through 2028, employers and payors are expected to report qualified overtime and qualified tip amounts on year-end informational tax returns. While overtime and tip information will be accumulated throughout the year, this is an annual requirement to report qualified amounts to your employees.
