Correct, a lot of people don't get this. It is taxed though, or at least theoretically it should be.

Both presidential candidates have come out in support of untaxed tips. Which is dumb economic policy, but the service industry is a large voter base with a number of strong unions so they get pandered to.

Yeah and this is just a stupid โ€œbuy votes in Nevadaโ€ policy. Tipped workers are just upset they canโ€™t evade taxes anymore now that credit card tips are the norm.

This will only make more jobs go to tipping. If the tax free tipping passes expect to be required to tip everywhere.
