<prompt> Human: This upcoming paycheck, Im ending my pay period with over 20 hours of overtime. In passing, a coworker told me to watch out and told a story of when she worked a lot of overtime and lost most of it to taxes. My job offers a kind of rollover deal where you can take your OT hours and turn them into comp time, used a lot like vacation time. What is my best option to make the most money on this paycheck without being taxed to the point that the overtime is a wash?  <response>: ... do you want extra days off? Or do you want money?Thats the question here. I sometimes double my paycheck with overtime. You lose a lot of it to taxes but its just normal income tax... Theres no extra tax for OT. It is never a wash. You will still be making more money.The more you make the more taxes you have to pay. But youre still left with more money.
