I am trying to deduct the tips listed in box 7 of my W-2. I am a candy store cashier so my industry isn't listed. Am I ineligible or should I choose Restaurant Host?

Yes, tips you receive in your role of counter worker in a candy shop qualify for the “No Tax on Tips” provision. A counter worker at a store is one of the qualified tipped occupations. 

For more details about eligibility and how the rule works, please review:  What is the new tax law for tips?

Thanks but the dropdown choices in Turbo Tax are limited.  I chose "food & Beverage" and then subclass "barista, fast food worker"

There was no "counter worker" which would have been a better fit for me.

For the purposes of claiming the "No tax on tips" deductions, what you selected should be perfectly OK.
