The “My Boss Forgot” Overtime Calculator

The Problem: The new OBBBA law says you can deduct your overtime pay. But your W-2 Box 19 (where this number is supposed to be) is blank because your company’s payroll software is older than the concept of streaming video. The Solution: Don't panic. The law anticipated this chaos. For 2025 returns, you are allowed to use a "reasonable method" to calculate this yourself. This worksheet is your "reasonable method." Fill it out. Staple your paystubs to it. Save it forever.
