Why does it say go after "waitresses' tips" as if there are no men waiting tables? Also they've always gone after tips and getting them reported properly. I waited tables in college - 2000-2002 and we were told certain ways to report tips.
Maybe if employers would just pay a living wage then we could just get rid of tipping. That would make more sense.

I never had a problem with being tip-dependent in my job. It encouraged me to offer over-the-top customer service on every interaction. And for repeat customers that were known to not tip, it also allowed me to give them EXACTLY the level of service they were paying for.
And I had absolutely no problem paying the bills, and supporting my family from 2017 - 2021, when my wife made me quit. Even had enough to pay for a wedding and a 10 day honeymoon, including a week in Norway.
But then again, I actually busted my butt to earn good tips. I can understand why some folks who are objected to hard work may reject such a scheme of pay that is primarily performance based.

PolitiFact - Check, please. Are IRS agents coming for servers’ tips?
If you work in the service industry and rely on tips, a recent claim on social media may have alarmed you. Mike Palicz,

Once again, Politifact alters the story to claim truth as untruth.
"Plans to" means "not yet doing." Yet PolitiFact has decided that, because it is only a PLAN (i.e. proposed rule), this make the statement false, because the iRS is not yet doing it. Which is EXACTLY what the article says... proposed rule.
PolitiFact wants to treat a proposed rule as only a hypothetical, co.pletely ignoring the requirements of posting proposed rules for comment before implementation. The reality is that if a proposed rule is not commented on at all, or if rhe general consensus is positive, with no major flaws identified, the proposed rule becomes the ACTUAL rule the overwhelming majority of the time.
So yes, absolutely, the IRS WAS planning to go after tips.
Now, the fact that tips are reportable income is a valid argument in support of the rule. But it is also not a argument to make the statement or article false.
But... it's PolitiFact. Why be truthful just because you have cast yourself as an arbiter of truth?
And... wait for it.... yes, the IRS implemented SITCA. And yes, SITCA does exactly what as reported to do, despite PolitiFact calling it mostly false.

The amount of money flowing thru underground economy would really shock most taxpayers! Much of it exits the U S via money transfers to the countries people have fled from to help support their relatives there. @MSgt Thomas Clifford
