August 12 – 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 12. 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.
