Tips, Casinos, and Taxes in Nevada
How tipped income affects your Nevada paycheck and federal withholding.
Tips are taxable income
Cash and credit card tips must be reported to your employer and are subject to federal income tax and FICA. Nevada adds no state tax on tip income.
Tip reporting
Employers use reported tips to calculate withholding. Under-reported tips can lead to a tax bill at filing time. Use our tips calculator to estimate take-home pay including tip income.
Union dues
Many Nevada hospitality workers pay union dues as post-tax deductions. These reduce net pay but not taxable wages.
