You either need a new accountant, or you need to stop working for free, because you most certainly have some tax liability, big guy.

I don't make enough on 2nd-year RJ FO pay with a family to have any state or federal tax liability. If you cannot comprehend this, you're as bad as all your passengers who also think I'm making $100,000+ just because I'm flying a jet.
The pay won't be this bad forever, but when I'm making captain pay, I still will not tip the van driver to do airline company business until and unless the day comes that the airline decides to reimburse me for tips. The hotel van is not a registered charity.
A sincere "thank you" is sufficient. I haven't seen anyone yet list any good reasons to tip the van driver for the drive to and from the hotel. If they, as a result of not tipping, do not flash me a winning smile or carry my bags to the curb for me, I'm perfectly fine with that. In fact, I would prefer that they simply step aside and let me take care of my own bags to remove all sense of expectation that I owe them anything more than they are already paid.
If I were going to spend my money to tip anyone for doing airline company business, it would be for the occasional ramper who busts his tail to get us out on time, or the occasional flight attendant who does her job exceptionally well. Hmmm. That's not allowed. We're not even supposed to give the rampers a snack or drink from the plane. I wonder why we should tip the van driver?
Your sense of nobles oblige has obviously led to condescension toward those who have a different philosophy than your own. You can tip all you want, but I will not be shamed into it because of your misguided notion that it is my duty. You choose your charities -- I'll choose mine. There are a lot of registered charities that could do far more good on a $1000/year than the van driver.
