TTOC codes: frequently asked questions

What is a TTOC code?

A Treasury Tipped Occupation Code (TTOC) is the IRS code that identifies a tipped employee's occupation. Employers report it in Box 14b of the W-2 for workers who customarily receive tips.

What does TTOC mean on a W-2?

On a W-2, TTOC stands for Treasury Tipped Occupation Code. It appears in Box 14b and tells the IRS which tipped occupation the employee worked in — for example, 101 for bartenders or 102 for wait staff.

What if an employee's TTOC code is missing from their W-2?

If Box 14b is blank, match the employee's main tipped job to the closest occupation in this list and use that code. When a worker holds two tipped roles, use the code for the role that earns the most tips.

Are TTOC codes the same as SOC codes?

No. A TTOC is a Treasury code used only for tipped-income reporting in W-2 Box 14b. SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) codes are a separate Bureau of Labor Statistics system used for labor statistics, not tip reporting.
