Help, Employer claiming I make more money than I actually do

I work as a server at a restaurant, it is pretty standard for servers to pay a percentage of sales back to the house for bus help and hostesses. The problem is that my employer is claiming the full amount of my tips, without subtracting the tip share that I pay. It equals out to a significant amount of money, which I pay taxes on and may even put me in a higher bracket.
I can not figure out what to do.
p.s. I am typically a standard deduction when preparing taxes.

Join a union with the other employees who are getting screwed.

Do you know exactly how much you tipped out?

Send everyone you tipped out a 1099
claim it as a cost of business
Sounds to me like the employer paid you, you did what you wanted with the money and tipped out others, that does not change how much the employer gave you

Did you claim every dollar of cash tips you got? If not I would not be making a stink over this

Have you ever worked in a restaurant? Most handle the "tip outs" to the bus boys, etc themselves at the end of each shift when you close out with the manager

Yes I know exactly how much I tipped out. It is a set percentage that is mandatory. It is collected by the house and they distribute it to the other employees. I have all of the paperwork to prove that I never received the money.
As far as cash goes, we automatically claim a 10% tip on all cash tickets.

If you really truly have all the paperwork then you should be golden.
Of course, this will likely only matter if you get audited. But if that happens and you have the paperwork to prove your point you should be fine. Whether it is worth the time and effort is a different question.
