Important August 2026 Individual and Business Tax Due Dates
August 2026 Individual Due Dates
August 10 – Report Tips to Employer
If you are an employee who works for tips and received more than $20 in tips during July, you are required to report them to your employer no later than August 10. You can use IRS Form 4070 or your own statement that includes your signature; name, address and Social Security number; employer’s name (or establishment’s name if different) and address; month or period the report covers, and total of tips received during that month or period.
Your employer is required to withhold FICA taxes and income tax withholding for these tips from your regular wages. If your regular wages are insufficient to cover the FICA and tax withholding, the employer will report the amount of the uncollected withholding in box 8 of your W-2 for the year. You will be required to pay the uncollected withholding when your return for the year is filed.
