TIPS WON’T BE TAXABLE-—BUT WILL BE TRACED BY THIS KIND OF MONEY EXCHANGE.....
Where I live, many establishments have started charging less for cash payments than for credit card payments. Accordingly, I have started paying cash rather than using plastic. In most cases, the cash “discount” exceeds credit-card reward points. The transaction is also taken off the grid. I win. Big Brother loses. A little, anyway.
