The “no tax on tips” isn’t a real description of what was passed inside the GOP tax bill.
But there are tax deductions for individuals working in different industries. Those who qualify can write off up to $25,000 in qualified tips from the time frame between 2025 and 2028.
The U.S. Treasury Department has listed more than 60 tipped jobs where the “no tax on tips” would apply.
