Federal legislation enacted in 2025 (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) created a provision that allows employees, if eligible, to deduct the premium portion of qualified Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime compensation on their federal income tax return.

What qualifies as FLSA overtime premium pay

●     Only the overtime premium required under the FLSA is considered qualified. This generally equals the additional one-half (.5) paid above an employee’s regular rate for hours worked over the FLSA overtime threshold.

Viewing your qualified overtime pay

Employees who received FLSA overtime compensation in 2025, can view the qualified amount on their annual W2 Form available in Skyward Employee Access.
