Deductions & credits
Since the rules on tips changed mid-year, employers are not required to report your tips separately, so most employers reported the tips on BOX 7 of your W2. You can generally use the amount on Box 7 to determine your qualified tips.
If the amount that was reported on your Box 7, includes allocated tips, or service charges, you can make an adjustment. There is a question after you enter your W2 that asks if you need to change your tip amount. You can enter the amount of tips that qualify in this question.
