Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Senate Bill 36 introduces a new income tax exemption for cash tips received by employees from their customers. This change is designed to allow employees to keep more of their earnings by ensuring that cash tips are not counted as taxable income. This matters because it can provide financial relief to workers in the service industry, such as waitstaff and bartenders, who often depend on tips as a significant part of their income. The amendment reflects an effort to recognize and support this aspect of their earnings.

The bill adds an income tax subtraction for qualified tips and modifies the definition of income for determining eligibility for certain credits.

  • 71.05 (6) (b) 57.

    57. a. Subject to the limitation under subd. 57. b., for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, and before January 1, 2029, the amount that the claimant may deduct under section 224 of the Internal Revenue Code in effect for federal purposes on the claimant’s federal income tax return for the taxable year to which the claim under this subdivision relates.

    This creates a new subtraction for qualified tips on income tax return for specified tax years.

  • 71.05 (6) (b) 57.

    b. For an individual who is a part-year resident or nonresident of this state, the subtraction under this subdivision for the taxable year may not exceed the amount that is calculated by multiplying the amount that the individual may deduct under section 224 of the Internal Revenue Code in effect for federal purposes on the individual’s federal income tax return by a fraction the numerator of which is the individual’s qualified tips that are taxable by this state and the denominator of which is the individual’s total qualified tips.

    This establishes a limitation on the subtraction for part-year residents or nonresidents.

  • 71.05 (6) (b) 57.

    c. In this subdivision, 'qualified tips' has the meaning given in section 224 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect for federal purposes.

    This defines 'qualified tips' by referencing the federal definition.

  • 71.52 (6)

    the amount by which a resident manager’s rent is reduced, nontaxable income of an American Indian, any amount subtracted under s. 71.05 (6) (b) 57., → any amount subtracted under s. 71.05 (6) (b) 57.,

    This ensures that the new subtraction for qualified tips is included in the calculation of income for the homestead credit eligibility.
