What this bill would do
The No Tax on Tips Act aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove income tax on qualified tips. It does this by allowing a deduction for taxpayers that covers the amount of qualified tips received during the year. This deduction is capped at $25,000 and applies to occupations that traditionally received tips on or before December 31, 2023. The bill also extends a credit for employer Social Security taxes paid on employee tips to include beauty service establishments. These changes are intended to take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
