Okay, I have a question.

My daughter works at Subway, where they have a tip jar on the counter. It never occured to me to tip the guy making my sandwich until she mentioned how much she made in tips one night. Frankly I think it's silly.

But anyway, I told her that she needs to keep track of her tips because they are considered to be taxable income. She told me I was full of it. She asked her fellow employees (who are under 18 and probably don't know didly about the IRS) and they told her the tips weren't taxable income.

Who's right?

Sorry but tips are considered taxable income.

All income is reportable. Tips are explicitly stated as taxable income right on the form.
