I work as a waitress part-time in MA. The owner states that the government now assumes that waitresses make 20% in tips for each table served. Of course this is not always the case, but I always thought the tip amount is 15%. Do I have to claim more than 15% for taxes? The owner says that they can't prove it for cash tips, but credit cards, he has to put whatever is written on the receipt? Is this so?
Thanks
