Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently verified. (1) The 'No Tax on Overtime' provision was ENACTED INTO LAW as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21), signed July 4, 2025 — confirmed by the IRS (PRIMARY), which describes a deduction for qualified overtime compensation for tax years 2025-2028. (2) Terms confirmed by Tax Foundation and Wikipedia: up to $12,500 ($25,000 joint) of the overtime premium, phasing out above $150,000/$300,000 AGI. (3) Jason Smith's role verified: Wikipedia confirms he has chaired the House Committee on Ways and Means since January 3, 2023; Ways and Means is the House tax-writing committee that authored the OBBBA tax title. The branded 'No Tax on Overtime' policy the promise names was delivered and became law through his committee's tax package, which he leads. The only caveat — a capped, temporary, income-phased DEDUCTION rather than a permanent unlimited EXEMPTION — is why confidence is 0.9 rather than 1.0, but the branded promise was fulfilled and enacted, so FULL is the correct outcome (CHAMPIONED would understate an actually-enacted result). Applied nonpartisan standard: an opposing-party sponsor with an identically-enacted branded policy would earn the same FULL rating. Prior FULL/0.9 rating stands.
