Definition of 'IRS Publication 1244: Employee's Daily Record of Tips and Report to Employer'

A document published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that details how employees are to keep track of and report income earned from tips. Tip income can come in the form of cash, credit or debit card adjustments to a bill or tip-sharing agreements with fellow employees. If an employee earns more than $20 in tips during a month, that employee is responsible for reporting the tip total to the employer. Employers are still responsible for withholding money for Social Security, Medicare and income tax.
