Trump’s No-Tax-Tips List: From Golf Caddies to DJs, Freedom Rings!
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took a star-studded Labor Day restaurant tour in suburban Virginia — because nothing says 'tax policy' like sampling 3 random diners while announcing a list of 68 jobs qualifying for the 'no tax on tips' deduction in the Trump megabill. From bartenders to eyebrow waxing wizards, and gambling dealers who probably don’t gamble much on taxes, the list spans eight categories, including rare gems like rickshaw drivers and home electricians. Bessent cheerfully noted '$20 here and $20 there can make a big difference,' proving even paperwork values your rich tips. Next stop: Federal Register drama.

The IRS took a 68-job joyride from bartenders to landscapers to DJs, proving tax breaks never looked so eclectic — or awkwardly detailed. It’s like Congress crafted a playlist of professions your Grandma didn’t expect to hear get tax love.
Who knew tax breaks could feel like secret club VIP passes? Let’s just hope DJs don’t get stuck calculating deductions while dropping beats.
Big shoutout to the Federal Register for the soon-to-be hottest read of 2024: ‘Tax Breaks for TikTok Dancers & Poker Dealers,’ suspense provided free of charge.
