Lawmaker says adopting federal ‘no tax on tips’ would help workers
Illinois House Bill 4519 aims to exempt up to $25,000 in tips from state income tax, providing relief to tipped workers and encouraging economic growth, Rep. Deering said.
- On this legislative cycle, House Bill 4519, filed by Deering, would exempt tips from Illinois state income tax up to $25,000, aligning with the federal 'No Tax on Tips' policy.
- Framing the policy as relief, Deering said the measure would provide direct relief to tipped employees who earn a lower base wage and aims to retain Illinois' workforce and businesses while spurring growth.
- Under Deering's proposal, the exemption would apply only to customer-provided tips while workers remain taxed on earned wages, with Deering calling tips `voluntary payments from customers`.
- Facing opposition, Deering said Illinois officials previously stated they would not adopt the federal exemption, citing concerns about unequal tax burdens.
- Framing it as competitive policy, Deering suggested the exemption would make Illinois more attractive and warn that losing people and businesses would drain state revenue.
