π« MYTH: Tips are completely tax-free now π«
Truth: tips are still income you report. What changed for 2026 is a deduction for qualified tips β up to $25,000. That's real help if you earn tips, but it's a deduction on your return, not a reason to stop tracking or reporting them.
Servers, bartenders, stylists, drivers β keep those tip records all year so your 2026 return is right.
Questions about how this fits your return? DM or comment "TAX". π©
