| Aug 19 at 18:08 | comment | added | ohwilleke | Another definition that could be used was the definition of tip used prior to 1987. Prior to 1987 just the amount necessary to bring a tipped wage to a minimum wage was subjected to FICA taxation, but after 1987 all tips were. See ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v51n4/v51n4p4.pdf There is also a definition uses for the FICA tip credit for employers under current tax law. See irs.gov/pub/irs-access/f8846_accessible.pdf | |

| Aug 19 at 15:20 | comment | added | Joe W | @Brian this question would be off topic on politics se and I would vote to close it. The question doesn’t depend on what could change with new laws rather how things stand right now. The part about possible future laws is just background for why I asked. | |
| Aug 19 at 14:11 | comment | added | Brian | The final paragraph narrows this question enough to be on-topic for Law.SE. However, such future laws need not match existing tax law. You may wish to consider asking some form of this question on politics.SE (i.e., what the politicians are proposing). Mind you, I'm not sure politicians have fleshed out this proposal enough for it to be currently answerable. | |
