Anyone else going to start tipping 0 post OBBB?

[Anonymous]

With OBBB containing “no tax on tips”, anyone else thinking about stopping to tip?

I am considering stopping all tips except for Hair and spa treatments.

I’m zeroing out all tips for eating out

Anyone else thinking of doing the same?

[Anonymous]

Nope. My tipping routine will stay the same.

[Anonymous]

No. We've just stopped eating out.

It’s only no tax on cash tips. Who leaves cash tips on the regular?

[Anonymous]

Furthermore, who was even reporting cash tips?

[Anonymous]

OP, why do you plan to stop tipping because of the OBBB?

[Anonymous]

Aren’t Venmo “cash” tips? Nail salons have those now.

Yeah, most weren’t reporting/paying tax on the cash tips before anyway

After a certain amount they now get sent a 1099

Wow, OP. Super classy.

Honestly, I've reduced my tipping already, but not because of the BBB. For a full-service restaurant, which I rarely go to these days, I still tip 20%, but for picking up my own order, nothing. I used to tip 5%.

Rarely eat out even though we can afford it. Sick of tips.

[Anonymous]

No, most people who get tips don’t make enough to itemize and just take the standard deduction.

[Anonymous]

Stick it to the little guy, OP!

I think the problem with this “great idea” is that businesses will learn how to classify things as tips when they really aren’t, which of course will result in a much smaller tax base, which IMO is the last thing we need right now.

What a mess.
