True
The text states that tips are subject to tax.
Infact verdict: True (95/100).
The claim that tips are subject to tax is supported by multiple sources, including the IRS, which states that tips are subject to federal income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes. This is corroborated by other authoritative sources, confirming that both cash and noncash tips are taxable. Although there are legislative proposals to change this, such as the Tax Free Tips Act of 2024, these are not currently law. Therefore, the claim is factual and well-supported by evidence.
