The One Big Beautiful Bill created two brand-new above-the-line deductions for 2025 — most overtime workers and tipped employees have zero idea they exist
The mainstream media says “no tax on overtime,” but the real mechanics are different — only the FLSA overtime premium portion (the extra half) qualifies, not your full overtime pay
Tipped workers in restaurants, hospitality, and service industries may be able to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tip income directly on your 2025 return
The income phase-out trap that kicks in at $150,000 MAGI (single) / $300,000 (joint) — and how to use 401(k) contributions to potentially stay below the threshold
How to claim both deductions correctly on the brand-new Schedule 1-A, what documentation the IRS will expect, and exactly what to do with every dollar this deduction saves you
