When Sharon Simmons delivered McDonald’s to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Monday, she shared that his tax policy has saved her about half her income.

Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” passed and signed into law last year, established a tax deduction of up to $25,000 for tips. Simmons, a grandmother of 10 who lives in Arkansas, said half of her income is tips.

“I saved over $11,000 by not having to claim,” Simmons said.

“We call it the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill,” Trump responded. “We should call it the Great Big Beautiful Tax Cut Bill because it’s tremendous amounts of money.”

Simmons made her first delivery to the White House two days before Tax Day on April 15.

The president gave Simmons a $100 tip, on which she will not have to pay taxes.

“The ‘No Tax on Tips’ is something special,” Trump said.

“It’s very special,” Simmons responded.

Trump thanked Simmons for coming to the White House.

“I want to thank you for ‘No Tax on Tips,'” Simmons said. “It has helped my family out immensely. And I definitely appreciate it.”

Trump first floated the idea of ending tax on tips in his campaign in June 2024. He said he was inspired by a “very smart waitress” he met at a restaurant in Las Vegas. Approximately four million Americans work in tippable industries.

The policy has provided an average tax cut of $1,300, the House Committee on Ways and Means reported, and more than 3.5 million taxpayers have claimed the deduction.
