Treasury lists jobs eligible for Trump's no tax on tips up to $25,000

The Treasury Department unveiled its list of jobs that will be covered by the Trump administration’s “no tax on tips” policy under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).

President Donald Trump made “no tax on tips” a key pledge during his campaign last year and worked with Republican lawmakers to include a provision in OBBBA to address that promise.

The law created a deduction of up to $25,000 for qualified tips received by tipped workers, which will be in place from 2025 through 2028 unless Congress acts to extend it.

As part of the process, the Treasury Department was required to develop a list of eligible occupations who were customarily compensated with tipped income prior to the enactment of OBBBA.
