I have a self-employed cosmetologist - no 1099nec or reporting form.  She had $15,055 in tip income included in gross. I entered on E6 of Schedule C which changed the QBI but don't see the tips deduction on Schedule 1-A  as instructions say.

If not on 1099 not eligible for no tax on tips. Not saying it is correct, but I am just listing tips as other expense for my clients in similar situation as yours
