You must report tips you received (including both cash and noncash tips) on your income tax return. Any tips you reported to your employer are included in the wages shown in box 1 of your Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Add to the amount in box 1 only the tips you didn't report to your employer as required.
Tips for servers or bartenders at a business meal are deductible, but there's no "tip expense" category on your tax return. Instead, you claim tips as part of your total meal expense. You can also write off tips to cabbies, valets, maids and other non-meal related people as travel expenses.
How do I report tips to the IRS? The IRS requires you to report your total monthly tips to your employer by the 10th of the following month. If your employer doesn't have a process for reporting tip income, any staff member who has received tips can use Form 4070 to report those tips to the employer.
All tips you receive are income and are subject to federal income tax. You must include in gross income all tips you receive directly, charged tips paid to you by your employer, and your share of any tips you receive under a tip-splitting or tip-pooling arrangement.
What can happen if I do not keep a record of my tips? If it is determined in an examination that you underreported your tip income, the IRS will assess the taxes you owe based on the best available records of your employer.
