The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking republican comment on a proposed tip reporting program between the tax activity and employers in service industries.
On Monday, the activity issued a notice that contains a proposed procedure to place the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program. The program would be voluntary and is intended to "take advantage of advancements in point-of-sale, time and attendance regulations, and electronic payment settlement methods to improve tip reporting compliance," the activity said.

The monitoring of employer compliance will be based on annual tip revenue and charge tip data from an employer's point-of-sale system.
