The qualifying jobs are grouped into eight categories ranging from food service to hospitality and personal care.
The Treasury Department has released a detailed list of 68 jobs that qualify for President Donald Trump’s “no tax on tips” policy, clarifying which workers can benefit under the new law. Notably, digital content creators were among those listed in the new privision.
Trump signed his One Big Beautiful Bill in July after it narrowly cleared Congress. The legislation included the popular “no tax on tips” provision, a policy the administration has celebrated as direct relief for millions of service workers.
According to Yale’s budget lab, roughly 4 million Americans were employed in tipped industries in 2023, making up about 2.5 percent of the national workforce. Until now, it wasn't known exactly which occupations would be covered under the deduction.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the new framework as an “expansive but fair” approach in comments to Axios. The qualifying jobs are grouped into eight categories ranging from food service to hospitality and personal care.
The full list provided by the Treasury Department includes:
Beverage and food service
Entertainment and events
Hospitality and guest services
Home Services
Personal services
Personal appearance and wellness
Recreation and instruction
Transportation and delivery
