Ehh this one I’m not a big fan of. Do a more general like “under $35k no tax” but no tax on tips leaves out minimum and low wage workers who just so happen to not make tip income.
Am I missing something here?
Agreed, and encourages employers to keep pushing tipping onto everyone. I already thought it was bad, I don't want to have to pay a tip at every store I go to. I'd much rather have a set price and employees make a living wage even if it's a little more expensive
The government wants more data. It feels like it's a common unspoken rule that tipped employees don't claim cash tips.
So it seems like "hey, since you lie to us to keep your cash tips and it's optically bad and a waste of IRS resources to even pursue you, just tell us how much you actually made for data collection reasons and we'll ignore it"
Even if they weren't taxing it there's no way in hell I would tell them about my tips
