Hardest Working Americans Tax Relief Act of 2007

The Hardest Working Americans Tax Relief Act of 2007 proposed to make overtime pay tax-free for individual workers by excluding it from their taxable gross income. For citizens who work more than 40 hours a week, this change would have allowed them to keep more of their earnings, as the extra pay for those additional hours would not have been subject to federal income tax. Although the bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, it did not advance further to become law.
