Bill Summary

AN ACT TO ALLOW AN INCOME TAX DEDUCTION FOR OVERTIME COMPENSATION, UP TO TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS OF BONUS PAY, AND TIPS.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to create three new income tax deductions for North Carolina taxpayers: first, a deduction for overtime compensation earned under the Fair Labor Standards Act, which allows each spouse in a joint filing to claim the deduction separately; second, a deduction for bonus pay up to $2,500, specifically defined as supplemental wages paid as a cash award recognizing outstanding work or dedication (with the same joint filing provision); and third, a deduction for tips that are required to be reported to an employer under federal tax code. These deductions would be added to the existing list of potential income tax deductions that taxpayers can claim when calculating their North Carolina taxable income. The bill specifies that these new deductions will become effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and taxpayers will need to provide any information requested by the Secretary of Revenue to claim these deductions. The goal appears to be providing tax relief for workers by reducing their taxable income for certain types of supplemental earnings.
