Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
New Hampshire has no income tax on wages — overtime is untaxed by the state.
A long window for wage claims
Any employee owed unpaid wages may file a wage claim with the New Hampshire Department of Labor within 36 months of when the wages were due. Claims can be filed online.
A wage claim in New Hampshire is a request for a hearing. Your employer is told about the claim and can respond, and both sides may appear before a hearing officer, where you present your evidence. The Department treats that as different from reporting a wage complaint.
Minimum wage by reference
New Hampshire defines its minimum wage as the federal rate when the state figure would be lower, which is why it has read $7.25 throughout the U.S. DOL history table.
Only the federal deduction matters
With no income tax on wages, the only tax decision is on your federal return. A worker who is owed and paid overtime by an FLSA-covered employer can deduct the half-time premium there, up to $12,500.
