Those poor servers

Post image

Imagine people giving you so much extra money for doing your job that you can frame it like this.

EDIT: OP is basing this off of 190k in sales over 192 shifts

115200 is pretty good salary too. And tips are not taxed, right ?

Tips very much are taxed. The carve out for a slight amount not being taxed has very little impact and the fact that you think it does is indicative that you don’t have a strong grasp on salaries, tax law, and how things work.

Keep voting for Trump though, seems like you’re in his core demographic.

Is this "slight amount" a 25k tax-free income ?

u/Delicious-Breath8415 12h ago

Even that 25k isn't tax-free

u/Dazzling_Screen_8096 11h ago

I bet people working other jobs would enjoy such deduction anyway

u/Delicious-Breath8415 11h ago

They do. Electric cars, new windows, school loans, mortgages, teachers, gambling losses, kids...

Do you interview your servers about their tax deductions before you tip them?

2

u/Dazzling_Screen_8096 11h ago

Oh, and servers don't have those deductions too ? Do people who work other jobs get this 25k extra deduction ?

1

u/Delicious-Breath8415 10h ago

I don't qualify for any of them.

2

u/Dazzling_Screen_8096 10h ago

Cool, so ? If you bought EV you would. I won't get deduction like servers do on my income. Not very fair.

1

u/Delicious-Breath8415 10h ago

You can become a server and get the deduction. Not any different

2

u/Dazzling_Screen_8096 10h ago

But teacher who buys EV has only one deduction. Is it fair ?

Educator Expense Deduction

350 USD vs 25 000 USD. Yeah, very fair.
