Questions
- Does "no tax on tips" mean tips are tax-free?
- No. It is a deduction from income tax with a yearly maximum. Social Security and Medicare are still charged on every dollar of tips, and tips above the maximum are still taxed as income.
- Which part of overtime counts?
- Only the premium: the extra you are paid above your usual hourly rate. For time-and-a-half that is the half, which is a third of the overtime pay.
- Does this tell me whether I qualify?
- No. The deduction applies to certain jobs and tax years and shrinks at higher incomes. The calculator shows the arithmetic for someone who qualifies in full.
