Will the No Tax on Tips Act bring real relief for servers and bartenders?

Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the Senate unanimously passed the No Tax on Tips Act on May 20, 2025. The legislation would exempt up to $25,000 in tips from federal income tax for eligible workers, with some limitations. To qualify for the tax deduction, workers must have earned less than $160,000 for the 2024-2025 tax year. If the bill becomes a law, this limit will be indexed for inflation.  Bill S.129, introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz in January, creates a federal income tax deduction for workers in occupations that traditionally receive tips. Individuals working as waiters, barbers, or delivery drivers
