New individual deduction for overtime (2025–2028)

For tax years 2025 through 2028, individuals can deduct “qualified overtime compensation,” defined as the portion of FLSA overtime that exceeds the regular rate (i.e., the “half” part of time‑and‑a‑half) and that is reported on a Form W‑2, Form 1099, or other specified statement 

No tax on tips” (tax years 2025–2028)

  What counts as “qualified tips” (and what doesn’t)
Qualified tips are cash or charged tips received from customers (or, for employees, through a tip pool/tip‑sharing) that are paid voluntarily and not negotiated; mandatory service charges imposed by the business are not qualified tips. 

Deduction for interest on personal-use passenger vehicle loans

What’s allowed. Individuals may deduct interest paid during the year on a loan used to purchase a “qualified vehicle” for personal use, up to an annual cap of $10,000. This is available whether or not you itemize (it’s a standalone deduction) and applies to tax years 2025 through 2028
