Overtime for truck drivers

$0

Can You Write Off Overtime for Truck Drivers?

Short answer: Usually no: interstate truck drivers are exempt from FLSA overtime under the Motor Carrier Act, so their extra hours don't qualify for the overtime deduction.

Local drivers not covered by the exemption may qualify.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
