Deductions & credits
You can enter the tip total in box 7 of the W-2. This will not affect anything else, but it will allow you to get the questions needed regarding tips and deduct the tips. You can use the total from the last paystub to enter in box 7.
The IRS is giving a little leeway this year as this is all new and there has not been a standard way that employers were told to report tips and overtime. So adding the amount in box 7, is currently the easiest way to complete the taxes and deduct the tips.
