So nice to see a heart warming story like this on FR (for a change). We need to see stories like this to remind us that there really is hope for our country, and that there is still very much good amongst us.

Thank you.

until the Marxist run IRS comes knocking

Nope, those crafty Christian males have them beat pretty good. The $5K isn't income. It's a gift, especially since it's written directly to the college. That amount isn't taxable to her, or anybody. And I doubt the $1K written directly to her will get her into a bracket where she'll even have to file, on a waitress's wages—although, with her energy, she may surprise me.

And splitting the $100 with other employees? That will really get the IRS gnashing its teeth in frustration. Her only income from that is what she kept.

That girl sounds like an angel.

Yes all the time. In fact it happens so often that people don’t even bother reporting the stories anymore.

It could be argued that this was a gift, not a tip. And the check was made out to the school. Never passes through her hand. Again, a gift.

Tell the IRS to screw.

The IRS minions will be furious that a private school only charges $5,000 for a year of schooling - bet someone suddenly decides to check their accreditation.
