The IRS offers a dollar-for-dollar credit on the FICA taxes you already pay on employee tips. Most owners have never heard of it — or that it can be claimed retroactively for up to 3 prior years.
Takes about 2 minutes · No cost, no obligation
It scales with your tipped payroll — the bigger your team’s reported tips, the bigger the credit.
Illustrative example only — your actual credit depends on payroll records and qualifying wages. Your free eligibility check pins down your real number.
We do the heavy lifting. You collect the credit.
A quick review of your tipped payroll confirms whether you qualify. No credit, no cost — and you’ll still learn something useful.
Our team identifies your qualifying tips, calculates the full credit — including prior years — and handles the filing paperwork.
It reduces your tax bill directly, year after year. We’re paid a percentage of what we secure — nothing upfront, ever.
Restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafés, and catering venues with tipped staff and meaningful tipped payroll.
Success fee only. If no credit is secured, you pay nothing — no expenses, no hidden fees.
You may be able to claim credits for the last three tax years — not just the current one.
Our partner team focuses exclusively on FICA tip credits for tipped businesses. It’s all they do.
