flag A new tax rule lets some tipped workers deduct up to $25,000 in tips through 2028, but many low-income earners won’t benefit.

flag A new federal tax provision allowing up to $25,000 in tips to be deducted from income through 2028 applies to workers earning under $150,000 individually or $300,000 jointly, covering servers, barbers, and gig workers, but only for voluntary tips. flag Experts say its benefits are limited, with many low-income tipped workers not owing enough in taxes to benefit. flag The policy may not help more than a third of such workers, and critics warn it could lead to lower wages or reduced tipping, while broader spending cuts to health care and food assistance may harm low-income households. flag The IRS is accepting public comments on the rule until October 22.
