Overtime is taxed in the same way as your regular salary; there is no distinct "no tax on overtime" rule. You only pay less tax on overtime if your total yearly income is in a lower tax bracket or if your taxable income is lowered by exemptions or deductions. If not, overtime compensation is taxed normally and added to your regular income.
 
As part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, the federal "No Tax on Overtime" deduction went into effect in July 2025.

All eligible overtime income earned between January 1, 2025, and the end of 2028 is eligible for the deduction, which is retroactive. In early 2026, when you file your 2025 tax return, you will claim it.
