The overtime deduction is open to workers whose modified adjusted gross income stays below the phaseout, which begins above $150,000 for a single filer and $300,000 on a joint return. Under that line, up to $12,500 of qualified overtime can be deducted, or $25,000 for a married couple filing together. It was signed into law on July 4, 2025, as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and it covers tax years 2025 through 2028.

The same law created a deduction of up to $25,000 for tips, with identical income limits. Both are new enough that pay stubs and year-end wage forms deserve a careful read before anything is filed. We go through them line by line during personal tax preparation for La Vergne clients.

La Vergne’s tax year 2025 rate is 2.4125 per $100 of assessed value: 1.8762 for Rutherford County and 0.5363 for the city. That city share is slightly above Smyrna’s 0.5257, per the Comptroller’s 2025 Tax Aggregate Report, so the two cities’ combined rates sit about a hundredth apart.

Property tax is collected by the Rutherford County Trustee, Teb Batey, at PO Box 1316, Murfreesboro 37133. The Assessor of Property is Rob Mitchell, at 319 N Maple St, Suite 200, in Murfreesboro. Haven doesn’t forecast anyone’s bill. We do keep the rate and the paid receipt in front of us when we sit down with a client for tax planning.

La Vergne grew from 38,709 residents in the April 2020 Census base to an estimated 41,430 in July 2024, a gain of 2,721 people. For anyone who has moved here, one state fact applies to investment income: Tennessee hasn’t taxed interest and dividends since the Hall income tax was repealed for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

Federal returns are due as usual. The 2026 standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $24,150 for a head of household. La Vergne is 18 miles from the center of Franklin, and our office sits in Cool Springs, though documents can come in through the secure client portal instead.
