Key Tax Deadlines in August 2025 for Individuals

August 11 - Reporting Tips to Employers

If you are a tipped employee having earned more than $20 in tips during July, you must report these earnings to your employer using IRS Form 4070 by no later than August 11. Employers are tasked with withholding FICA and income tax from these tips, integrating the deductions within your regular wages. In cases where regular wages are insufficient for covering these withholdings, the uncollected amounts will feature in box 8 of your W-2 form for the tax year. You will be responsible for settling the uncollected withholding upon filing your tax return.

Weekend and Holiday Adjustments:


Due dates coinciding with weekends or legal holidays receive automatic extensions to the subsequent business day, ensuring no legal holiday disruption occurs.
