How do you read this provision from today's House vote?
1) Say someone gets paid $20 an hour, but $30 for overtime. How much is excluded -- all $30, or just the $10?
2) FLSA overtime rules apply only employers engaged in interstate commerce, or with annual sales of $500,000 or more. There are some other categories. Nonprofits are not covered. So, if an employer pays overtime but is not subject to FLSA, does the exclusion still apply?
``(a) In General.--There shall be allowed as a deduction an amount equal to the qualified overtime compensation received during the taxable year. ``(b) Qualified Overtime Compensation.-- ``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term `qualified overtime compensation' means overtime compensation paid to an individual required under section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 that is in excess of the regular rate (as used in such section) at which such individual is employed.
