The overtime premium—the extra you earn above your regular rate—is now tax-deductible for some taxpayers.    For example, if you earn $20 per hour, your overtime rate is $30. The $10 difference is the overtime premium. With tax law changes for 2025–2028, you don't have to pay federal income tax on that extra $10.   You can deduct up to $12,500 per year ($25,000 if Married Filing Jointly).   More OT info

A new roof is generally not directly tax-deductible as a current expense on your federal income taxes because the IRS considers it a capital improvement. However, you can add the cost to your home’s "adjusted basis," which reduces capital gains tax when you sell. Energy-efficient roofs may qualify for tax credits.  See the following link for more info: Energy Incentives for Individuals

This problem has not been corrected. It STILL does this, years later.  If there's taxable income listed in box 2a , it should be carried over to as taxable income on the 1040. Turbo tax will not do this. It will as if it's a ROTH conversion, and then transfer the full amount over whether the 1099-R says it's taxable or not.    It's not that complicated, Intuit, if there's a taxable amount in box 2a-- transfer it over to the taxable amount line on the 1040!
