What the document says
“The amount allowed as a deduction under this section for any taxable year shall not exceed $25,000.”
The section caps the deduction at $25,000 for a taxable year.
What the document actually says
“The amount allowed as a deduction under this section for any taxable year shall not exceed $25,000.”
That sentence, in plain words
The deduction may not top $25,000. That is the cap for one tax year.
What this is about
Tips above that get no break. The cap does not grow with prices. It is fixed in the law.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
