August 10 – Report Tips to Employer
If you are an employee who works for tips and
received more than $20 in tips during July, you are required to report them to
your employer on IRS Form 4070 no later than August 10. Your employer is
required to withhold FICA taxes and income tax withholding for these tips from
your regular wages. If your regular wages are insufficient to cover the FICA
and tax withholding, the employer will report the amount of the uncollected
withholding in box 12 of your W-2 for the year. You will be required to pay the
uncollected withholding when your return for the year is filed.
