Three times you have stated as fact that tips are "tax-free".
No, they are not. If you don't report them, and the gov't sees you are a person who is likely to earn tips as part of their wages, expect to be audited.

Correct, they currently have a system that makes it easy to audit people in the service industry. Typically, you need to claim at least 7% of your sales at the restaurant as revenue to avoid the alarms going off.
When the 'alarms go off' for one person, usually the entire service staff at the establishment get audited. If they fail that year, they go back as far as 7 years.
