Congressman Langworthy advocates for no taxes on overtime in visit to Elmira Heights
ELMIRA HEIGHTS, N.Y. (WETM) — Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) was in Elmira Heights on Friday touring the facility of CAF USA while speaking with workers and advocating for no taxes on overtime pay, a major component of President Trump's proposed Big Beautiful Bill that passed in the house in May. The frame of a transit train was in the background at CAS USA as Langworthy took to the podium and spoke to the press on Friday, May 30, about passing a new tax code and implementing no taxes on overtime. Langworthy said that eliminating the tax on overtime would help working families ensure people have more take-home pay in their pockets, and help workforce shortages. 'I'm a strong believer that there is a great dignity in work and we need to lift more people, more of our neighbors into the dignity of work,' Langworthy said. 'As a country, we must always reward hard work, because ladies and gentlemen, this country was built on hard work,' Langworthy said. Langworthy said this bill would reward hard work not punish it. This would be done by not taxing people who were previously reluctant to work overtime and reducing the squeeze on working families. Langworthy argued that money would then be spent in the local economy at area businesses and other things to better the lives of families. No taxes on overtime pay: What to know about tax break in GOP budget bill So how would no taxes on overtime work? The no taxes on overtime pay would put more money in the pockets of Americans making under a certain threshold of $160,000 a year, according to Langworthy. This is something that wouldn't be seen on a paycheck but would have to be claimed from a person's taxes the following year, according to a report from Nexstar's The Hill. The bill wouldn't be in play for long either if passed, Langworthy said it would start working in 2025 and end in 2028, adding that because it's a new tax it would have to be tested before being made a permanent. 'Under the budget reconciliation process, we have to get scores on any of the proponents we have,' Langworthy said. 'This is what we can fit in now, that doesn't mean we don't want to make it permanent, but we're able to make some of the Trump tax cuts of 2017 permanent in this bill,' he said. 'This is a new tax, obviously, it has to go into effect, see how it works, and then hopefully at that point, we can make it permanent before it expires again,' he said. Langworthy used the term 'score' when referring to no taxes on overtime which is a congressional term for a bill's impact on federal spending. This explains why bills are implemented for a short period after they're passed before they need to be renewed or made permanent. How would Trump's budget bill affect the child tax credit? Critics of no taxes on overtime pay have come out and said that the bill would leave out billions in federal revenue, with The Hill reporting $164 billion through 2028, Congressman Langworthy said the opposite on the issue. 'In America, if you work hard you should take home more of your money, not worry about the IRS,' Langworthy said. 'Now, too many people in Washington D.C., they think it's their money. I've heard way too much in the debate about this bill talking about how we can't afford certain tax breaks, it's the other way around,' Langworthy said. 'The American people can't afford too much more of Washington, we need to shrink Washington and grow western New York and the Southern Tier, not the other way around,' he said. Langworthy believes no taxes on overtime would bring more people to work and create more output whereas critics of the bill think employers would be more reluctant to give overtime. The bill is now in the hands of the Senate where changes will be made and voted upon before it returns to the House. Langworthy said no tax on overtime is a fundamental part of the Big Beautiful Bill, and he would fight to keep it in the bill if the Senate requests to remove it. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
