Why doesn't the IRS make strippers pay taxes on their tips?

Why doesn't the IRS make strippers pay taxes on their tips, but cracking down on these poor Dunkin Donuts and other minimum wage employees? Does anybody know?

They are supposed to claim the tips on their taxes, but since its mostly cash its easier to hide because there is no documented paper trail in most cases.

strippers don't pay taxes on tips? isn't that taxable income or are they just hiding it or something?

Strippers are required to pay the same taxes on tips that any other profession is required to.

If you were an IRS agent, would you rather get a fee lap dance, or a free donut?.....So many thumbs down, geesh, everyone answering this question must be an upset waiter/waitress, or an IRS agent...

Anyone who earns tips is supposed to declare "other" income.
Strippers are self-employed and file taxes quarterly like hairdressers...if they are on the level.
Chances are they are not.

To many people enjoy the pleasure and teasing strippers do for them.

Tips are different than waiges.
Your salary decides you tax, so the salary is what your boss pays you and it's put on record.
Stripping is sort a 'under the table' job.
It's purely tips, and tips are put on record.
I am sure the goverment would put taxes on stripping if they could, they are blood-sucking bastards.
But yeah, Strippers do have pay taxes, they have to report their salary, and some lie and say they don't make much salary, so then they pay less tax.
But if the IRS asks why their house costs over what their finances are then the IRS can sue.

The IRS requrires ALL tipped employees to pay taxes on their tips. Anyone who doesn't is in violation of the law. A lot of strip joints are getting clobbered both by the state employment folks and the IRS for failing to follow the law on pay and taxes.

I know a couple of strippers who are pulling doubles to pay off massive tax debts once they were caught out. I had to break the bad news to them that the IRS levies were correct and they had to pay up. One was hit with a "lifestyle audit" and the other was ratted out by an ex-girlfriend.

Legally tips are taxable, whether you are a server in a restaurant or are a stripper. What makes you think the IRS doesn't collect tax on tips from strippers? I'm sure there are some strippers who don't report all their tips and try to evade taxes on them. I'm equally sure that's done by some servers at Dunkin Donuts.
