My SO was a stripper. She did not declare her income. Then, she decided to go to the State university. I filed back taxes for 2 years, and filed the current year for her so she could qualify for in-State tuition. It was worth it.
In California at least dancers are required to be employees so at a minimum their base salary and official commissions are reported and taxed. If they also declare their tip income is anybody's guess
Don't think this has anything to do with dancers declaring their tips - looks like this is about the club having to pay sales tax on cover charges and VIP rooms.

last commentVery few dancers declare any income from dancing. The few that I do know that do pay taxes, do so, so that they can qualify for home loans, etc.
Ask some.

Is it Stephen (like steven) dick, or Stephen (like stuff-in) dick?
The ones I know don't.
A lot of them earn at least $500 a week, don't file their taxes, and collect welfare.

A strip club owner named Stephen Dick (jr. no less)? Sounds like an Onion article, but apparently a true story.

It's NICE to AVOID the IRS.
