Trump plan to nix taxes on tips could cost $250 billion: analysis
Former President Donald Trump's proposal to exempt tips from tax may increase the federal budget deficit by $150 billion to $250 billion over the next decade, per the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget .
The CRFB warned that the cost could rise further if compensation shifts from wages to tips in response to the tax exemption.
If there is a 10% increase in tip income, the expense could reach $275 billion.
