Why Salon Workers Care

Salon, barber, and beauty professionals often receive a large share of pay as tips. A deduction of up to $25,000 can cut federal taxable income sharply in the 12–24% brackets.

Employers and platforms must report tip information. Keep year-end statements. Self-employed drivers/stylists should also watch the net-income ceiling in the calculator.

Keep Form W-2 / 1099 statements and year-end interest statements with your tax records for at least three years.
