    Not a tipped worker here: are tips currently calculated as part of SS earned income? How will exempting tips from taxes affect future benefits for these workers?

      Tips are just added to what you made so yeah, it counts wherever an hourly wage counts.

      However the current system just gets people not to report tips, so realistically they’re paying a lot less into SS anyway. It’s basically just the government going “alright let’s make that official instead of tax fraud”
