November 13 – Report Tips to Employer
If you are an employee who works for tips and received more than $20 in tips
during October, you are required to report them to your employer on IRS Form
4070 no later than November 13. 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.
