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.

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

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

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%.

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

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

Furthermore, who was even reporting cash tips?

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

Nope. My tipping routine will stay the same.

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?
