Granted, because the tip was on a credit card she&#39;d probably have to report it on taxes anyways, but I&#39;d bet the tipper wasn&#39;t exactly looking for a lot of National press out of it. She also mentioned buying a Jeep with it, I hope it&#39;s a used jeep, because that tip once the taxes are taken won&#39;t buy any new car!</p><p>TMB worked in a restaurant for a few years in college, and always reported his tips, but I&#39;m sure many people in the industry make hundreds of dollars a night without reporting 5% of that money to the IRS.</p> <div class = "shareblock"><strong>Share this post:</strong> <a title="Email Big+tip%2c+big+taxes!" href = "mailto:?body=Thought you might like this: http://themadblogger.org/blogs/themadblogger/archive/2006/09/01/Big-tip_2C00_-big-taxes_2100_.aspx&subject=Big+tip%2c+big+taxes!">Email it!</a> | <a href = "http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://themadblogger.org/blogs/themadblogger/archive/2006/09/01/Big-tip_2C00_-big-taxes_2100_.aspx&title=Big+tip%2c+big+taxes!" title="Submit Big+tip%2c+big+taxes! to del.icio.us" >bookmark it!</a> | <a href = "http://www.digg.com/submit?url=http://themadblogger.org/blogs/themadblogger/archive/2006/09/01/Big-tip_2C00_-big-taxes_2100_.aspx&phase=2" title="Submit Big+tip%2c+big+taxes! to digg.com">digg it!</a> | <a href = "http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://themadblogger.org/blogs/themadblogger/archive/2006/09/01/Big-tip_2C00_-big-taxes_2100_.aspx&title=Big+tip%2c+big+taxes!" title="Submit Big+tip%2c+big+taxes! to reddit.com">reddit!</a></div><div class="PostAdvertisement"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3356074518164779"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; //2006-09-25: TheMadBlogger.org google_ad_channel ="1338090836"; google_color_border = "000000"; google_color_bg = "F0F0F0"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "008000"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div><img src="http://themadblogger.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9" width="1" height="1">IRSTipsTaxes
