@RodEgby , under current laws, tips are treated as ordinary & active income. So on your schedule-C, you show this as gross income. TurboTax will walk you through filling out the Schedule-C. Note that the net income from Schedule-C will trigger filing of Schedule -SE and therefore the SECA tax ( this is the equivalent of FICA taxes paid by wage earners except it is at 15.3% of the income --- Social Security and Medicare tax and because you have no employer to share with ).

Does this make sense ? Is there more I can do for you ?

You can include the tips with your other business income. Tips are general or other self-employment income. All cash revenue can be reported on the same place on Schedule C in TurboTax as it is all taxed the same. Where do I enter self-employment income.
