President Trump just delivered on another major campaign promise that puts money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans. The “No Tax on Tips” policy is now officially law as part of his One Big Beautiful Bill Act that he signed on July 4, 2025. This is exactly the kind of real action that separates Trump from career politicians who only make empty promises.
The new law creates a tax deduction that lets tipped workers keep up to $25,000 of their tip income completely tax-free. That means waitresses, bartenders, hairdressers, and millions of other service workers get to keep more of what they earn through hard work. No more Uncle Sam taking a cut of money that customers freely chose to give as a reward for good service.
The Treasury Department just released a massive list of 68 different jobs that qualify for this incredible benefit. Restaurant workers like servers and bartenders obviously make the cut, but so do hair stylists, massage therapists, golf caddies, taxi drivers, and even tattoo artists. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the list “expansive but fair” and said every $20 here and there makes a real difference for working families.
This covers everyone from the person who cuts your hair to the driver who brings your food to your door. Tour guides, exercise trainers, manicurists, and delivery workers all qualify. Even skilled tradespeople like electricians and plumbers who work in homes can claim this deduction when they receive tips.
For a single worker, the full $25,000 deduction phases out once they make more than $150,000 per year. Married couples keep the benefit until they hit $300,000 in income. This smart design ensures the tax break goes to middle-class families who need it most, not wealthy elites.
Workers can claim this deduction whether they take the standard deduction or itemize their taxes. Employers will need to track tip amounts and job types on tax forms, but the IRS is updating all the paperwork to make this simple. The law runs through 2028, giving millions of Americans guaranteed tax relief for years to come.
This is what putting America First looks like in action. While Democrats waste time on woke nonsense, Trump focuses on kitchen table issues that matter to real families. He promised to help service workers keep more of their hard-earned money, and he delivered exactly what he said he would do.
Once again, President Trump proves he fights for working Americans against a system that has failed them for decades. This law will put billions of dollars back into the hands of people who earned it through honest work and great service. That is the America First agenda in action, and it is exactly why Trump won a historic mandate from the American people.
