Use Form 3949-A to report alleged tax law violations by an individual, a business, or both.
You include unreported tips as income on 1040 line 7 when you do your taxes, so youll pay income taxes on them. Youd have to also include a Form 4137 to pay your half of the social security and Medicare taxes on those tips (amounts that would normally be withheld from your paychecks if you reported the tips).
Purpose of form. Use Form 4137 only to figure the social security and Medicare tax owed on tips you didnt report to your employer, including any allocated tips shown on your Form(s) W-2 that you must report as income. You must also report the income on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 1c.
The individual income tax applies to all income from whatever source derived unless excluded by law. The tax applies to tips, including cash tips not reported to an employer. Tips that are part of a taxpayers gross income are considered earned income.
IRS Guidelines: The IRS requires employees to report all tips received, including cash tips. However, because cash transactions are less traceable than credit card transactions, some individuals may underreport their cash tips.
