I have plenty of problems with tipping culture, but this one is entirely of the server's making, and is a common trope.
If you can demonstrate/document less tips than the IRS estimate, that's exactly what you will be taxed. Nobody is forcing you to be taxed on unearned income...
... but most servers don't do that because the vast majority of them make entirely more than the IRS tipping estimates.
- ForestCritter 3y agoThere is no such thing as documenting cash tips. I wouldn't have any problems with no tipping if servers got paid on the same scale as everybody else.
