No taxes on tips sounds good. Experts say the effects would range from hardly life-changing to potentially harmful.
  • Most tipped workers already don’t pay federal taxes.
  • Increasing the tipped minimum would do more.

Edit: really there should be no minimum lower than the hourly minimum.

    It being a bad idea makes it a bad idea though. Why would this source of income be exempt from taxation? Why is that a good idea? Why is a salaried or hourly employee less deserving of having their income exempted?

      Why should it be taxed? Not “Why it shouldn’t”.

      Imo, income tax should only affect the rich, and they aren’t working tipped jobs.
