The Treasury Department has released a list of 68 jobs that will be covered by the “no tax on tips” provision in the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Axios reported Monday.
Under the budget plan Trump signed into law this summer, workers are exempted from paying federal taxes on up to $25,000 in wages earned from tips and up to 250 hours of overtime pay. The provision remains in effect through tax year 2028, Trump’s final year in office.
