Dasher Completes First Ever White House Delivery to Mark Impact of No Tax on Tips Sharon Simmons, a Dasher from Arkansas, made history by delivering a package to the White House on the South Lawn of the Oval Office, marking the first-ever delivery to the presidential residence. The event celebrated the first anniversary of the No Tax on Tips policy, which aims to ensure that gig workers like Simmons retain more of their earnings by exempting tips from federal income tax. The delivery, which concluded her order at the White House, symbolized the broader impact of the policy on millions of independent contractors. For Simmons, the moment was deeply personal. A grandmother of ten, she began working as a Dasher in 2022 to maintain flexibility in her schedule while supporting her family. Over the past two years, she has completed more than 14,000 deliveries, a testament to the time she has invested in her work. Since the implementation of No Tax on Tips, she and other Dashers have benefited from retaining a larger share of their tips, which are now exempt from federal income tax. The policy is estimated to have saved hundreds of millions of dollars for Dashers nationwide. Simmons emphasized the significance of the policy in her statement, highlighting how it has transformed her ability to balance work and family life. “Thanks to DoorDash, I have been able to provide for my family while keeping the schedule that works best for me, something I never thought would be possible,” she said. “Now No Tax on Tips has taken things to the next level, letting me keep more of the tips I earn and deserve.” Her words underscore the personal and financial relief the policy has brought to gig workers, many of whom face challenges in securing stable income and benefits.#white_house #doorDash #sharon_simmons #no_tax_on_tips #south_lawn
