The prediction stated that a no-tax-on-overtime pay proposal, expected as soon as 2026, would likely not affect salaried employees. The search results confirm that a "No Tax on Overtime" provision was enacted as part of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law on July 4, 2025, and is effective for tax years 2025 through 2028. This provision allows eligible workers to deduct a portion of their overtime pay from federal income taxes. Crucially, the legislation specifies that many salaried employees are exempt from overtime under FLSA and thus ineligible for this tax benefit. However, some salaried employees classified as non-exempt under FLSA can qualify if they meet other criteria. Therefore, the prediction that it would *likely not affect* salaried employees is mostly accurate, as many salaried employees are indeed excluded, but some can still benefit.
