All four new deductions in one place — tips, overtime, car loan interest and the senior bonus.

Read the how-to
The formula

How this number is built

Schedule 1-A total = tips + overtime premium + car loan interest + senior bonus, each capped and phased out separately
Step by step

Doing it by hand

Step 1

Gather the four inputs: reported tips, qualified overtime premium, car loan interest paid, and your age.

Step 2

Apply each statutory cap: $25,000 tips, $12,500 overtime ($25,000 joint), $10,000 car interest, $6,000 per senior.

Step 3

Apply each phase-out separately — they use different thresholds and different reduction rates.

Step 4

Add the four results together; this is your Schedule 1-A total.

Step 5

Multiply by your marginal rate to see the cash effect on your refund or balance due.

Questions

What people ask next

Can I claim more than one of these?

Yes. They are independent. A 66-year-old server working overtime with a qualifying car loan could claim all four.

Do these replace the standard deduction?

No. They are additional and are available whether you itemise or not.
