Inside This Issue

Notice 2025-69 provides guidance to individual taxpayers who are eligible for the federal income tax deductions for qualified tips or qualified overtime compensation for tax year 2025. These new deductions were added by Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). As part of the phased implementation of the OBBBA, there will be no changes to the 2025 Form W-2, Form 1099-NEC, Form 1099-MISC, or Form 1099-K to account for the new reporting requirements in the OBBBA. As a result, employers and other payors will not be required to separately account for cash tips or qualified overtime compensation on those forms furnished to individuals for 2025. In the absence of this information reporting, this Notice provides guidance for individual taxpayers on how to satisfy the requirements for the deductions, including how to determine the amount of the qualified tips or qualified overtime compensation, for tax year 2025. This Notice also provides transition relief for taxpayers regarding the requirement that qualified tips must not be received in the course of a trade or business that is a specified service trade or business. This Notice does not affect any rights or responsibilities regarding tips or overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.

Notice 2025-69 will be in IRB: 2025-50, dated: December 8, 2025
