August 11 - Report Tips to Employer

If you're an employee who receives tips, remember that if you earned over $20 in tips during July, these must be reported to your employer by August 11 using IRS Form 4070. Your employer will then handle the withholding of FICA and income taxes. In situations where your regular wages do not cover these withholdings, any uncollected taxes will be noted in box 8 of your W-2 form. You’ll need to address these during your annual tax filing.

Understanding Weekends and Holidays

It's important to note that if a tax deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the IRS extends the deadline to the next business day. This rule helps accommodate those filing around such dates without violating tax rules.

Extension for Disaster Areas

In the event a geographical location is declared a disaster area, the IRS and other federal bodies may extend tax deadlines. To check if your area qualifies and view updated filing deadlines, refer to these essential resources: FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/declarations and IRS: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-relief-in-disaster-situations. Keeping abreast of these changes can prevent the stress of hurried tax filing.
