In Wisconsin, we believe in rewarding hard work, not punishing hardworking Wisconsinites by taxing them more. That’s why Senate Republicans have passed several bills this session that put money back where it belongs: in the pockets of the people who earned it.
Hi, I’m State Senator Dan Feyen.
Earlier this year, we passed legislation to eliminate state income tax on tips, mirroring the federal legislation that President Trump championed. For thousands of Wisconsinites (servers, bartenders, hospitality workers, and more), tips aren’t a bonus. They’re how they pay the bills, support their families, and make ends meet. Now, instead of sending a portion of those earnings to Madison, you get to keep more of what you’ve earned.
In this week’s floor session, we took another big step by passing “no tax on overtime pay.” From nurses picking up an extra shift, to factory workers staying late, or first responders covering a weekend, these are the people who keep our communities running. Under this bill, your first $12,500 of overtime pay will not be taxed.
These are common-sense reforms that keep your government smaller and smarter. At a time when many families are feeling the pressure of higher costs, passing “No Tax on Tips” and “No Tax on Overtime” makes sure that you keep more of your hard-earned money.
Senate Republicans are proud to continue to be your voice in Madison to lower taxes, strengthen our workforce, and make sure that YOUR hard work pays off.
