The Overtime Year Bill
Colorado's overtime tax would only last one year
State Overtime Compensation Income Tax
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would make a state tax on overtime pay happen only in 2026, which could mean less tax for workers later.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would make sure that if Colorado taxes overtime pay, it only happens for one year, in 2026. This means people who work extra hours would not have to pay this special tax in other years. It could help workers keep more of their hard-earned money from overtime. Lawmakers are still deciding if this is the best way to handle taxes on extra work.
