Because tips are income, they need to be reported on your tax return. Normally, you would report your tips to your employer, who then includes them on your W-2. Whether included on your W-2 or not, enter your tips in TurboTax with the employer's W-2.

Enter your tips with the employer's W-2

To enter your tips:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax, if you aren't already in it
2. Search for W-2 and select the Jump to link in the search results
3. If that employer's W-2 was already entered on the Your W-2 info so far screen, select Edit next to that employer
   1. If you haven't entered that W-2 yet, follow the on-screen instructions or select the Add a W-2 button to add the employer
4. Enter information from the W-2 as needed and select Continue until you reach the Let's check for uncommon situations screen
5. Select the box for Unreported tips and select Continue
6. On the Now let's enter your unreported tips screen, enter the amount of your tips
