Dr. Friday highlights two new rules: an added deduction for seniors and new reporting requirements for qualified tips.

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
There are a few things we want to go over. First, there’s a new senior deduction. I keep talking about it, but I want everyone to understand that’s $6,000 per person that’s 65 and older, deduction part of your standard deduction.
Second would be up to $25,000. Qualified tips are deductible. Again, this has to be reportable. Your AGI cannot exceed over $300,000 if married, $150,000 if single. And it has to be something that has been reported on your income tax. It’s not something you can just say, “Oh yeah, I’m sure I collected $25,000.” It’s not gonna fly.
