Tips are voluntary amounts customers leave for employees, while service charges (like automatic gratuities for large parties) are considered business income. For employers, all tips are subject to:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Medicare taxes<\/li>\n\n<li>Social Security taxes<\/li>\n\n<li>Federal income tax withholding<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Large food and beverage establishments (those with more than 10 employees) must file <a href=\"https:\/\/guardiantaxlaw.com\/how-many-returns-should-i-file\">Form 8027<\/a>, the Employer&#8217;s Annual Information Return of Tip Income.
