It could be a substantial part of their income that is normally subject to federal income tax. But now the new tax law—the one Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)—creates a limited tax deduction for tips received by workers, beginning in 2025. However, this new tax break is only temporary. It is schedule to expire after 2028, unless Congress extends it in the interim. Basic premise: As opposed to regular wages, tips are usually discretionary or optional payments determined by a customer. All tips received by employees are normally subject to both federal and state income taxes. The list of tips for federal income tax purposes includes: In addition, tips are subject to federal payroll taxes. Both employees and employers must meet substantial reporting requirements relating to the payment and receipt of tips. And the IRS may dispute claims if it suspects that employees are being paid “under the table.” New rules: As with overtime pay, the OBBBA creates a new above-the-line deduction of up to $25,000 for qualified tips received. Also, like the overtime pay deduction, this tax break is phased out for tips received by single filers with a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) above $150,000 or $300,000 for joint filers. The deduction is reduced by $100 for each $1,000 above the threshold. Note that the deduction is only available for tips received in industries where the practice is commonplace. The Treasury Department has published a list of occupations that qualify. The tip deduction may also be claimed by self-employed individuals and independent contractors who pocket tips in the course of their normal business activities. But the deduction is limited to the extent that their business income (including tips) exceeds their otherwise allowable deductions. This affects many workers in the gig economy, Finally, the OBBBA broadens a special employer credit for federal payroll taxes paid on tips. Currently, the credit only applies to tips to workers in the food and beverage industries, but the new law extends it to tips paid to workers providing services like hair and nail care and spa treatments. Expect the IRS to weigh in shortly with more guidance on this and other related issues. Remember that the tip deduction may be claimed whether or not workers itemize, but it is scheduled to expire after 2028. Bottom line: Employers may have to revamp their recordkeeping practices in the wake of the new law as will employees and self-employed individuals. Clients will likely be reaching out to you for your expert assistance in this area. Note that there is a new field on the 2026 W-2 form for the new Treasury Tipped Allocation Code.
