Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Tax break for tipped workers
If enacted, tipped workers could deduct cash tips they report to their employer, up to $25,000 a year. Your job would need to be on a list of tipped occupations the Secretary would publish within 90 days. The deduction would not apply if you earned over the “highly compensated employee” limit from the same employer last year. You could claim it even if you do not itemize, and it would not be limited by usual itemized deduction caps. IRS withholding tables would be adjusted to reflect this. The change would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
Tip credit for beauty businesses
If enacted, employers could claim the existing tip credit for tips paid on beauty services, not just food and drink. Covered services would include barbering and hair care, nail care, esthetics, and body and spa treatments, where tipping is customary. This would lower employer Social Security payroll tax costs. The bill would also revise how the minimum-wage baseline applies for food and beverage establishments, keeping the January 1, 2007 baseline language. The change would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
