Future Developments For the latest information about developments related to Form 8846 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/Form8846. Purpose of Form Certain food and beverage employers (see Who Should File below) use Form 8846 to claim a credit for social security and Medicare taxes paid or incurred by the employer on certain employees’ tips. The credit is part of the general business credit. You can claim or elect not to claim the credit any time within 3 years from the due date of your return on either your original return or on an amended return. Partnerships and S corporations must file this form to claim the credit. All other taxpayers are not required to complete or file this form if their only source for this credit is a partnership or S corporation. Instead, they can report this credit directly on line 4f in Part III of Form 3800, General Business Credit. For information regarding taxes imposed on tips, including information on the difference between tips and service charges, see Rev. Rul. 2012-18, 2012-26 I.R.B., at www.irs. gov/irb/2012-26_IRB#RR-2012-18. Who Should File File Form 8846 if you meet both of the following conditions. 1. You had employees who received tips from customers for providing, delivering, or serving food or beverages for consumption if tipping of employees for delivering or serving food or beverages is customary. 2. During the tax year, you paid or incurred employer social security and Medicare taxes on those tips. How the Credit Is Figured Generally, the credit equals the amount of employer social security and Medicare taxes paid or incurred by the employer on tips received by the employee. However, employers cannot claim the credit for taxes on any tips that are used to meet the federal minimum wage rate in effect on January 1, 2007, of $5.15 an hour. Therefore, the amount of tips for any month that are used to figure the credit must be reduced by the amount by which the wages that would have been payable during that month at $5.15 an hour exceed the wages (excluding tips) paid by the employer during that month. For example, an employee worked 100 hours and received $450 in tips for October 2023. The worker received $375 in wages (excluding tips) at the rate of $3.75 an hour. If the employee had been paid $5.15 an hour, the employee would have received wages, excluding tips, of $515. For credit purposes, the $450 in tips is reduced by $140 (the difference between $515 and $375), and only $310 of the employee’s tips for October 2023 is taken into account. A 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax applies to Medicare wages and tips. However, Additional Medicare Tax is only imposed on the employee. There is no employer share of Additional Medicare Tax. Thus, there is no effect on the credit for employer social security and Medicare taxes on certain employee tips. Specific Instructions Figure the current year credit from your trade or business on lines 1 through 4. Line 1 Enter the tips received by employees for services on which you paid or incurred employer social security and Medicare taxes during the tax year. Include tips received from customers for providing, delivering, or serving food or beverages for consumption if tipping of employees for delivering or serving food or beverages is customary. Line 2 If you pay each tipped employee wages (excluding tips) equal to or more than $5.15 an hour, enter zero on line 2. Figure the amount of tips included on line 1 that are not creditable for each employee on a monthly basis. This is the total amount that would be payable to the employee at $5.15 an hour reduced by the wages (excluding tips) actually paid to the employee during the month. Enter on line 2 the total amounts figured for all employees. Line 4 If any tipped employee’s wages and tips exceeded the 2023 social security tax wage base of $160,200 subject to the 6.2% rate, check the box on line 4 and attach a separate computation showing the amount of tips subject to only the Medicare tax rate of 1.45%. Subtract these tips from the line 3 tips, and multiply the difference by 0.0765. Then, multiply the tips subject only to the Medicare tax by 0.0145. Enter the sum of these amounts on line 4. Reduce the income tax deduction for employer social security and Medicare taxes by the amount on line 4. Fiscal year taxpayers. If you have an employee with wages and tips paid in 2024 that exceeded the 2024 social security wage base of $168,600 by the end of the 2023 fiscal year, follow the Line 4 instructions above to determine the amount to enter on that line. The determination whether the tipped employee’s wages exceeds the social security wage base is made for each calendar year. Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.
