If you’re banking on tax-free overtime to boost your paycheck, you’re out of luck. Trump’s “big beautiful bill” doesn’t change what you’re paid; it changes what you’re taxed. That happens at tax time, not on payday. Employers will keep withholding taxes as usual, and it’s up to you to apply the deduction — if you qualify — when you file.

You now have less than six months to claim a tax break for a heat pump, solar panels, and other expenses to make your abode greener.
