IRS mandates W-2 reporting for overtime deduction in 2026 with clarified eligibility

For 2026, employers must report the eligible overtime amount on workers’ W-2s (box 12 code TT); only the overtime premium—the extra 0.5x pay above the regular rate—qualifies for the deduction, capped at $12,500 for singles or $25,000 for married couples and phased out at $150k/$300k. Unlike 2025, where reporting was waived, this year requires employer reporting; workers should still verify the amount on their pay stubs and request a corrected W-2 if it’s inaccurate. About 29 million taxpayers claimed the deduction in 2025 with an average of over $3,100.

Trump’s targeted tax breaks have sparked a bipartisan rush to copycat deductions—from overtime and tipped-income relief to boat-loan interest and border-patrol exemptions—raising questions about permanence and cost as 2028 expirations loom. Proposals seek to extend or broaden who qualifies, including expanded medical/home‑buying deductions and new credits, with millions already benefiting (more than 35 million seniors, 29 million overtime, 7 million tipped-income) and roughly $600 billion needed to keep all four provisions. Conservatives warn they are earmarks; progressives worry about revenue and priorities; the political fight is likely to continue into the midterms and beyond.

Madison encampment could drain city funds amid budget crunch

The encampment at Williamson and Baldwin streets in Madison, set up after the Corey Ruiz shooting, could cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars as overtime and staffing bills accumulate; Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway says the total depends on how long it lasts, and the city may need to amend its tight 2027 budget, which already has about an $11 million gap and 2% cuts across agencies, while residents voice concerns about safety and disruption as officials rely on city staff rather than police cars to monitor the site.
