Cosmetology Tax Fairness and Compliance Act of 2005

H.R. 1345, the Cosmetology Tax Fairness and Compliance Act of 2005, would extend a federal tax credit to salon owners for the Social Security taxes they pay on their employees' tips, a benefit currently available to the restaurant industry. The bill also establishes new reporting requirements, requiring salon owners and those who rent out salon chairs to provide detailed income and tip information to both the IRS and the stylists working in their facilities. Additionally, the legislation requires salon owners to provide educational materials to stylists regarding their legal obligations for reporting tip income for tax purposes.
