A new tax break for overtime work is so complicated the IRS is turning to the Labor Department to help.

A much-touted deduction for auto-loan interest comes with a thicket of stipulations, including that a vehicle had its “final assembly” in the U.S.

And some people taking a new break for tips could find it triggers a separate tax bill that could leave them worse off.

Republicans are counting on those benefits from their new tax law to drive up refunds this year, hoping they'll be rewarded at the ballot box in November. But unlike familiar and relatively easy-to-understand breaks like the Child Tax Credit, President Donald Trump’s new provisions come with fine print that could frustrate taxpayers.

They aren’t as generous as Trump’s “no tax on tips” and “no tax on overtime” taglines suggest, and have complex rules that will prevent many from claiming them altogether.

“They are much more complicated than what your ordinary middle-class household is used to dealing with,” said Kyle Pomerleau, a senior fellow at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute.

That could potentially dampen the enthusiasm Republicans hope to generate for their signature tax cuts. They’ve been eagerly awaiting tax season, anticipating that a gusher of tax refunds will help sell the public on their biggest legislative achievement of the Trump administration.

IRS Issue Number: Tax Tip 2026-09 Earned Income Tax Credit:
A valuable credit that supports millions of families

The Earned Income Tax Credit helps communities by supporting hard working low to moderate income families. The EITC helps millions of eligible workers and families each year by reducing the amount of taxes owed and possibly increasing a refund.
It’s estimated that about one in five taxpayers who are eligible for EITC don’t claim this valuable credit. The average EITC amount received nationwide for tax year 2024 was $2,916.

Who qualifies
Several factors such as income, family size and filing status affect the EITC credit. In general, to be eligible the taxpayer must meet the following criteria:
• Have earned income from working for someone or working themselves. Certain disability income may qualify, as well
Income level is low to moderate
• A valid social security number by the due date of the return
• Be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year
Military and clergy have special qualifying EITC rules, because using this credit could affect other government benefits.
