What is the FICA Tip Credit?
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Tip Credit is a tax credit available to employers in the food and beverage industry, offsetting the social security and Medicare taxes paid on their employees' tip income.
The FICA Tip Tax Credit was designed to encourage reporting of tip income and provide relief to employers who are required to pay the FICA tax on the tips received by their employees. Since legislation froze the minimum wage for FICA Tip Tax Credit purposes at $5.15/hour, employers actually receive a higher credit than if the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 was used.

WHAT'S A TAX CREDIT?
Tax credits are a powerful tool that can help you reduce your taxable income and directly impact your annual tax bill. A dollar-for-dollar reduction of the income tax you owe, a tax credit can reduce the amount of tax you owe or increase your tax refund. Tax credits also differ from deductions and exemptions.
