New ’No Tax on Tips’ Provision Benefits Fewer Than 3% of Tax Filers

The recently enacted "One Big, Beautiful Bill" introduces a tax deduction for tipped income, but its impact is limited. Only 2.6% of tax filers—primarily low-to-middle-income service workers—qualify for the provision. The average beneficiary saves $1,400 by excluding tips from taxable income, though payroll taxes still apply.

Eligibility restrictions sharply curtail the deduction's reach. Married couples filing separately, workers without Social Security numbers, and high earners (singles above $400K or joint filers exceeding $550K) are excluded. The phase-out begins at $150K for individuals and $300K for couples.

While framed as broad relief, the policy functions as a niche benefit. Its design mirrors other targeted deductions in the bill, reflecting legislative trade-offs between simplicity and precision in tax policy.
