I don't have a big problem with this.

When I waited tables they just took a percentage of our sales for the night and put that down as our tip amount to pay taxes on. It was something small like 3 or 4%, so I always came out way ahead.

I knew a stripper that was paranoid as fuck about her taxes.

nose candy.

They should go after strippers too. IMO, we should get a standard tip deduction like the sales tax one if they go forward with this.

Then they're doing an extremely piss poor job if after hourly w/tips they come out to that figure.

Maybe they're just waiting on black people...

the average Waiter/ waitress makes $2.13 hr, what do you make an hour?

Shit, it's easy to make that kinda scratch if you have a fast car and half decent radar detector. I did it.

Gotta have a fast car. That 30 min or its free shit comes out of your check!

Those guys make like 65k and only get taxed for 10-15. That's a damn good deal for a pizza guy!

Eh, if it's on a card it's already taxed anyways.

Now, if we want to start talking about going after those pizza delivery guys ...

Good. If all of my income is taxed, theirs damn well should be as also.

IRS Cracking Down On TIPS Earned Through Service Charges

Effective January 1, 2014. The IRS and the Obama administration heading into the 2014 elections have found a cash cow to make an example of. The Government now wants a piece of those TIPS earned by waiters and waitresses from "Service Charges"!! (Usually tacked on for parties of 6 or 8 people.)

Effective January 1, restaurants will be required to take tax withholding's from the tips diners leave when restaurants apply an automatic gratuity to a bill. Under the IRS’ revised Ruling 2012-18 they are making a hard distinction between "Tips" and "Service Charges". Under the legal definition "Tips" must be optional, a "Service Charge" is not optional.


According to Joseph Henchman, vice president of legal and state projects at Washington, D.C.-based think tank Tax Foundation, said that “in order for it to be a tip, it has to be voluntary; it has to be entirely set by the customer; it has to be the subject of something the customer comes up and not dictated by a policy; and the customer has to decided who gets the tip.”
For the IRS, who already are grabbing a piece off diner checks paid by credit card, but this just isn't enough. (Yes they do that too already, in case you didn't know.)
