S 4580 would remove federal income tax from overtime, supplemental, and premium pay earned by U.S. Border Patrol agents, starting with the 2026 tax year. It uses the agents' existing pay structure under federal employment law to define which earnings qualify. Hazardous duty pay is specifically excluded and would remain taxable.
The bill directly affects active U.S. Border Patrol agents who earn pay beyond their base salary. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Finance Committee, so it has not yet become law.
Agents would keep a larger share of their overtime earnings because that income would no longer be subject to federal income tax. The federal government would collect less tax revenue from this group of workers as a result.
