All 50 States: Overtime Tax Status 2026
Federal overtime is now exempt from federal income tax under OBBBA. State tax treatment varies — filter below.
| State | State OT Tax | State Rate (approx) | Federal OT | Notes |
|---|
Important: The OBBBA federal overtime exemption applies to all W-2 employees regardless of state. However, states set their own income tax rules independently. Living in a no-income-tax state means your overtime pay escapes taxation at both levels — the maximum benefit possible under current law.
