I work in medical cannabis industry. We receive tips daily and is reflected in the paychecks. What industry would that fall under for industry type?

You can select "My industry isn't listed" when entering your tips income for the cannabis industry.

That cut and paste was no answer-that is literally whats in the drop down. they are asking which of the drop downs to choose, and the answer is it is being treated as tips like bartending.

The drop down to select is "My industry isn't listed".

For the medical cannabis industry, I'm not sure if you qualify for the tip deduction.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is still illegal on the Federal level, even though it may be legal in your State.

The Proposed Regulations say:  "Illegal activity. Any amount received for a service the performance of which is a felony or misdemeanor under applicable law is not a qualified tip. "

IF your work falls under that, the tips would not be deductible.

Even if your work does not fall under that, is your work part of the list of qualified occupations (see link below)?
