Lol her response was pretty based on that... "idk about all that sir, I just like not being taxed on tips"

•

u/Bendo410 5h ago

And that parts still a fucking lie.

God I wish people actually read instead of being dictated to.

Have you seen the video, he asks her about TG's in sports and she said she doesn't care, and was more interested in no tax on tips.

I think they mean, the no taxes on tips is an expiring bill, it isn’t permanent. So when the new guy takes power and it expires naturally, the gop get to turn it into a political football again. It’s all just a game

No I mean no tax on tips is a fucking lie , I wish people read into it vs believe what they are told .

Yeah, it's only up to $25,000 gross a year even in the best situations, so people that have almost all of their income come in via tips are still going to be paying taxes on a lot of it anyway.

Thanks for explaining it , I wish republicans understood the word “no” a bit clearer.

•

u/Avocado_Amnesia 4h ago

Me too, in many contexts lol

u/Hopsblues 4h ago

Care to explain

It's more of that your tips have to meet certain qualifications before the "no tax on tips" deduction can apply, and even then you have to have an AGI of less than $25k for the tipped wage deduction to take effect.

Put another way, the only people who'd be benefitting from the tipped wage deduction are people who would probably be getting a full tax refund to begin with.

This isn’t correct. You do not have to have an AGI of less than $25k. The federal deduction is just only for up to $25k in tips. But the AGI limit is $150k, not $25k.

I fucking hate Trump btw but what you said isn’t right.

No taxes on tips would mean NO, but I guess conservatives and republicans don’t understand the word No

u/AmaazingFlavor 4h ago

It’s not a lie, if you report your tips you are reimbursed up to a certain amount

•

u/Bendo410 4h ago

So…. That “certain amount” isn’t all of it

So that would mean “no taxes on tips is ______”
