How do you answer a customer professionally when asked if tips are included with their estimate?

You answer professionally by answering honestly. "Yes, tips are included", or "No, tips are not included." But even better than waiting to be asked, you specify up front and in writing, itemized, that the amount given is included for tips. That way there is no need for questions, and you can avoid a very embarrassing situation where you have inflated the estimate by including tips without saying so, leaving the sleazy impression that if tips are added to the inflated amount, that is the purchaser's business.

One of my coworkers insist tips are concidered income and therefor included in the "gross" from which the deferral % is calculated. I believe tips are not included, and only the actual gross hourly wage paid by the company is used. who is correct?

Tips are counted as part of your income. You must report your tips so that it will be included into your gross amount. If you do not claim cash tips the IRS has the right to charge you back up pay to the IRS. It is considered FRAUD to not account for your cash tips. So your friend is correct.
