The Tax Free Tips Act of 2024 would exempt all tips from federal income taxes, Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, unemployment taxes, and wage withholding requirements. Under current law, tips are treated as taxable income and subject to various employment-related taxes, but this bill would classify tips as gifts and remove them from taxation entirely. The legislation would affect millions of service industry workers including restaurant servers, bartenders, hotel staff, and others who regularly receive tips from customers. The bill would also repeal existing tip-reporting requirements and eliminate the employer tax credit currently available for tips. The changes would take effect for tips received in calendar months beginning after the bill's enactment, with no specific funding mechanism or sunset date included.
