HB 5941 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Individual income tax: deductions; exclusion of certain gratuities for tipped employees; provide for. Amends sec. 30 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.30).

HB 5941 amends Michigan's income tax law to clarify how certain gratuities received by tipped employees are treated for tax purposes. The bill specifically addresses the exclusion of these tips from taxable income, ensuring that workers in the service industry are not taxed on amounts that are already exempt under federal rules. By updating the state tax code, the legislation aligns Michigan's treatment of tipped income with existing federal standards. This change directly affects employees who rely on tips as part of their compensation and the employers who report such earnings.
