Can a Large Tipping Be Considered a Gift?

i would look at that as a non taxable gift. Americans historically have been much better spenders than savers. When we went into the pandemic two years ago, the average american was saving roughly six cents of each dollar they made. And then when the country went into lockdown, back in march, april, may, june, people started saving a third of their pay on average. That is pretty much the standard practice across asia.
