No Tax on Tips - Multiple Jobs & Personal Shoppers
I know there \*may\* be additional guidance on this, but what are everyone's thoughts on how to report tips for individuals who work more than one tipped job for 2025? In our grocery retail business, we have employees who may work as a bartender, a cook, a porter, or several other roles. For this year, we are planning on simply putting the code in box 14 along with the corresponding dollar amount. If someone works as a Barista, a Bartender, and a Wine Steward, would you separate out the tips for each job? Or should we report simply a single total for all eligible tips then separately list the tip job codes worked?
Also, we have a curbside department in many stores and the employees in that department receive tips. I did not see anywhere in the current draft list of eligible jobs where a personal shopper would fit. I've heard chatter that they may fit in code 106 - Food Preparation Worker (which doesn't fit to me at all), but I'm thinking 501 - Personal Care & Service Workers makes more sense as they are providing a personal service.
