Working overtime as a non-exempt employee requires more than just putting in extra hours. It involves specific conditions: you must work over 40 hours a week and ensure your employer pays you time-and-a-half or more. Overtime must be documented on your W-2, with the premium portion qualifying for tax deductions. However, not all overtime qualifies; it can’t be required by state law or part of union contracts. Understanding these nuances is crucial for maximizing your tax savings and ensuring compliance.
Determining deductible business expenses can be challenging. Generally, costs that are “ordinary and necessary” for your business are eligible. Key deductibles include home office use, business mileage, and professional services, while personal meals and commuting are not. Document all expenses, and seek professional guidance for clarity on what qualifies.
