Arizona Tribune - TaxBandits Now Supports E-Filing for Form 8027 to Simplify Tip Reporting for Restaurants and Bars

ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2025 / TaxBandits, a leading e-filing platform for businesses and tax professionals, now supports Form 8027, making the process of reporting tip income and allocated tips faster, more accurate, and more efficient.

What Is Form 8027?

Form 8027 is used by employers in the food and beverage sector, mainly those operating large restaurants or bars, to report tip income and allocate tips for their employees. This measure assists the IRS in monitoring compliance with tip reporting requirements and facilitates accurate tax reporting. A business that satisfies the following criteria is required to file Form 8027:

• It is located within one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.

• Tipping by customers to food or beverage employees is a customary practice.

• The establishment employs more than ten individuals who cumulatively work more than 80 hours on an average business day. This is commonly referred to as the "10-employee test."
