Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
Mississippi (2026): taxes all overtime — no state deduction.
Where to take an overtime problem
Without a state wage-hour agency, Mississippi workers take overtime complaints to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. It gathers information from you, may visit the employer, and investigates under the FLSA.
HB 204 (2026)
Representative Clark’s bill would have amended § 27-7-15 of the Mississippi Code to exclude overtime compensation from the definition of gross income. It was referred to Ways and Means on January 7 and died in committee on February 25, 2026. Mississippi computes income under its own code, so the federal deduction does not carry over either.
Example week
Mississippi’s median wage, $19.29 an hour, is the lowest of any state in the May 2025 survey; at that rate a 50-hour week pays:
