Plain-language change summary

The amended Bill AB 461 introduces an income tax subtraction for qualified overtime compensation, allowing individuals to deduct a specified amount of their overtime pay on their state taxes. This subtraction is capped at $12,500 per year for individual filers and $25,000 for those who file jointly, which could provide significant tax relief for workers who earn overtime. The changes are meaningful because they specifically target overtime earnings, potentially encouraging more workers to take on additional hours without facing higher tax burdens on that extra income. The bill aims to support employees while aligning state tax regulations with federal definitions related to overtime compensation.

Only qualified overtime compensation that is included on statements furnished to the claimant pursuant to federal or state tax law is eligible to be subtracted under the bill.

To claim the subtraction under the bill, a claimant must include the claimant’s social security number on the claimant’s tax return, and if the claimant is considered married for federal tax purposes, the claimant must file a joint tax return.
In this subdivision, “qualified overtime compen- SECTION 1.
The subtraction under the bill is generally limited to $12,500 per tax year for claimants, except that the limit is $25,000 per tax year for claimants who file a joint return.
Further, the subtraction phases out to zero for claimants as modified federal adjusted gross income increases from $150,000 to $275,000, except that for claimants who file a joint return, the subtraction phases out to zero as modified federal AGI increases from $300,000 to $550,000.
