No Tax on Overtime in Maryland
Maryland uses rolling conformity to the federal tax code, meaning it automatically adopts IRS changes including the OBBBA overtime deduction. Maryland workers who qualify for the federal No Tax on Overtime deduction can also deduct their overtime premium from their Maryland state taxable income. With a state income tax rate of 5.75%, this means additional state-level savings on top of your federal deduction.
The overtime premium deduction is worth up to $12,500 (single) or $25,000 (married filing jointly) at the federal level, plus an additional deduction against your Maryland state taxable income at the 5.75% rate. A Maryland worker in the 22% federal bracket who deducts $10,000 in overtime premiums saves approximately $2,200 federally plus $575 in Maryland state taxes.
No Tax on Tips in Maryland
Tipped workers in Maryland receive the full benefit of the No Tax on Tips deduction at both the federal and state level. If your occupation appears on the IRS TTOC list and you received qualifying tips in 2025, your deduction reduces both your federal and Maryland state taxable income.

How do I calculate my No Tax on Overtime savings as a Maryland resident?

Can I claim both the overtime and tips deduction as a Maryland worker?
Yes — if you qualify for both, you can stack them on the same return. The overtime deduction (max $12,500 single) and tips deduction (max $25,000) are calculated separately, each with their own phase-out at $150,000 MAGI. Both are claimed on Schedule 1-A of Form 1040.
When is the deadline to claim these deductions in Maryland?
The federal filing deadline is April 15, 2026 for tax year 2025. Maryland state returns are typically due the same date. File on time to claim your OBBBA deductions — extensions give more time to file but not more time to pay any taxes owed.
