Cornyn Introduces No Tax on Border Patrol Agent Overtime Act
· Texas Border Business
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has introduced the No Tax on Border Patrol Agent Overtime Act, aimed at allowing Border Patrol agents to benefit from the No Tax on Overtime deduction established in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. This legislation seeks to exempt agents from taxes on their overtime pay, acknowledging their critical role in safeguarding communities. Currently, Border Patrol agents cannot claim this deduction due to different overtime regulations. The bill, which has the support of the National Border Patrol Council, would extend this financial relief to nearly 20,000 agents. Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) is sponsoring a companion bill in the House.
