2025 Tax Updates & Employee Actions

We want to help prepare you for a smooth tax-filing season ahead! Here’s what you need to know.

For all HII employees:

Make sure your name, address, and withholding information are correct, so your W-2 is accurate!

  • Your first and last name on your pay stub must exactly match what’s on your Social Security card.
  • Verify your home address using the instructions provided below.
  • Deadline for updates is January 9, 2026.

For overtime-eligible employees:

Some employees may qualify for a new overtime deduction for the 2025 tax year. Eligible employees may be able to deduct a portion of their qualified overtime earnings on their federal income tax return, potentially lowering their taxable income. Look for more information on this subject in January. 

What overtime is deductible?

  • Only overtime pay required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is deductible.
  • Generally, FLSA requires overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek at a rate of no less than 1½ times the regular hourly rate.
  • If you receive overtime pay that is more than 1½ times your regular hourly rate, only the premium time required under FLSA is deductible. For example, if your regular hourly rate is $20 per hour, $30 is the required hourly rate for overtime hours. This means that $10 per hour of overtime may be deductible on your federal income tax return. In this example, any overtime premium pay in excess of $10 an hour would not be deductible on your tax return.
  • Overtime deduction is limited to $12,500 per return ($25,000 for joint return).

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently published guidance for this deduction for the 2025 tax year:

  • The IRS did not update the W-2 forms to include overtime information.
  • Employers are not required to report overtime separately.
  • If you plan to claim this deduction, please keep your final pay stub. The IRS provides instructions on how to calculate the deduction at IRS overtime guidance.
  • Final 2025 pay stub dates will be:
    • Ingalls: Dec. 18
    • Corporate, Mission Technologies and NNS Salaried: Dec. 19
    • NNS union-represented: Dec. 26

Reminder: Your final pay stub is not a replacement for your W-2. You’ll still need your W-2 to file your taxes.

For those expecting to claim exemption from federal income taxes:

If you had no federal income tax liability in 2025 and don’t expect to owe any federal income tax in 2026, you can claim exemption from federal tax withholding for 2026:

  • You must submit a new W-4 by Feb. 17, 2026, even if you were exempt in 2025.
  • If Payroll does not receive a new W-4 by the deadline, your withholding status will change to single with no dependents or deductions starting with the pay period ending Mar. 8, 2026.
  •  For IRS rules on exempt status, visit: IRS exempt guidance.
