<prompt> Human: I work at a job where overtime is basically unlimited. After a shift or two though new tax bracketsrates are hit and it severely negates the benefit of the OT. Ive been told that taxes are more lenient if one works a part time job instead of OT at the same company. Is this true? Even with the fact that my part time job will be at a regular hourly rate, albeit slightly higher cause it has no benefits package.  <response>: No. At the end of the year all your earnings end up in one line on your 1040 no matter where they came from.If one doesnt fill out their w-4 properly at a part-time second job it is possible there will be more in their paychecks than they get when they do overtime. But in that case they may be underwithholding and owe the extra money at tax time.
