How It Works
All tip income is taxable and must be reported to the IRS. The federal tipped minimum wage is $2.13/hour, but employers must ensure total compensation (wages + tips) meets the regular minimum wage. Tips over $20/month must be reported to your employer for tax withholding. Many tipped workers are surprised by their tax bill because FICA (7.65%) applies to all tip income on top of income tax.
