Sometimes I consider their situation. I had an incident where an older handyman came to fix my fridge drawer for me.

I believe he was working for himself so no wages from a different source.
I have a question: do the “suggested” tips on machines etc include the tax when a percentage is taken? Am I tipping the IRS as well?

Don't go by suggested tips on machines and verify that the tip hasn't already been added. You may be tipping on the added tip. Make sure your bill is correct and then tip what YOU feel is appropriate. Don't be embarrassed or emotionally blackmailed into tipping what someone else wants you too.
