Harris and Trump Clash Over Tax Proposals for Tipped Workers

Both candidates promise to eliminate taxes on tips, but experts question the feasibility and fairness of their plans.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have both pledged to end taxes on tips for service workers, aiming to appeal to voters in key swing states like Nevada.
Critics argue that exempting tips from taxes may not significantly benefit low-income workers and could complicate tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Harris previously voted for legislation that increased IRS funding to track and tax tips, raising questions about her current stance.
Trump's broader tax proposals also include eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits, which some experts warn could accelerate the program's insolvency.
Both candidates face skepticism from economists and industry groups regarding the practicality and impact of their tax promises.
