Yeah, the prevalence of credit cards make hiding all your tips, or even most of your tips, basically impossible now. Even if you did only declare your credit card tips, it’s super suspicious to average 20% on cards and 0% on cash. Since your employer has to track tips, they usually want you to report something that’s at least plausible.
