From the Washington Examiner: The IRS issued guidance on Friday that indicated the new “no tax on tips” law enacted by Republicans does not include tips received for prostitution or the creation of pornography.
The IRS published implementation materials for the law, a provision within the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Republicans passed over the summer and that includes several tax cuts and tax cut extensions. There were questions whether tip revenue received by OnlyFans creators and other online pornographic entertainers would be tax-free, but now the IRS has officially excluded that possibility.
“In addition, the proposed regulations provide that amounts received for prostitution services and pornographic activity are not included in the definition of ‘qualified tips,’” the IRS guidance reads.
Still, online creators of non-pornographic content, such as streamers and podcasters, will be allowed to receive the no tax on tips benefit.
Those who will be able to deduct tips from their taxed wages include bartenders, waiters, non-radio DJs, maids, plumbers, nannies, tattoo artists, golf caddies, and many more.
But those who receive trips through OnlyFans, or similar platforms where people can create and sell pornographic material, still have to report their tips as taxable income.
