if you're asking whether there are irs regs defining tips versus wage the answer is no because right now there is no reason to because they are both just considered ordinary income like anything else

edit: actually there are some definitions because it matters for FICA

Section 3121(a) of the Code defines “wages” for FICA tax purposes as all remuneration for employment, with certain exceptions. Section 3121(a)(12)(A) excludes from the definition of wages tips paid in any medium other than cash; section 3121(a)(12)(B) excludes cash tips received by an employee in any calendar month in the course of the employee’s employment by an employer unless the amount of the cash tips is $20 or more.

Can independent contractors classify all their pay as "tips"?
