WASHINGTON, DC: A DoorDash employee who became the first DoorDash delivery agent to deliver a meal to the White House praised Trump for his no-tax-on-tips policy and said she “feels heard” by this initiative.
Sharron Simmons, after delivering McDonald’s to the Oval Office, expressed hope to continue receiving benefits under Trump’s 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' beyond its current 2028 expiration.
The no-tax-on-tips policy was enacted in July 2025 as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allowing eligible individuals to deduct a specified amount of qualified tips from their income tax.
Delivery agent hopes for extension of no-tax-on-tips policy lifespan
Shortly after delivering the meal to the Oval Office, Sharron Simmons, the DoorDash delivery agent, said she expects the current policy lifespan to be extended.
"Well, obviously, we would like for it to continue, but I'm going to enjoy it while I've got it. And, you know, it's not for me to decide that," she told Fox News on Monday, April 13.
"I figure that I'm probably going to be saving about $3,000 to $4,000," Simmons said.
Simmons takes extra money home from side income source
Further highlighting the benefits she has received from the tax revision on tips, Simmons said she has earned more than $11,000 in additional income since the policy was implemented.
Simmons joined DoorDash to earn extra income after COVID-19 because she did not want to return to the office.
"I've been doing DoorDash since 2022. And I just got into it because it was something that after COVID and everything, I didn't have to go into an office. And I kind of felt like by doing this, I would be able to help other people," Simmons said.
One Big Beatiful Bill Act is package of policy revisions
Simmons’ story appears to be another attempt by the White House to endorse the Trump administration’s work under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The act includes a package of policy revisions, such as tax and border security measures.
The Act allows workers to deduct up to $25,000 in tips from their federal taxable income. This benefit applies to service workers in professions such as hospitality, hair styling, and ride-share driving.
Along with tax benefits on tips, the act temporarily eliminated tax obligations for overtime pay, increased the senior deduction to $12,000, and raised the child tax credit by $200 per child.
