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.
If your staff reports tips and you run payroll, you likely already have everything required.

Nothing upfront. It’s a pure success fee: our partners are paid a percentage of the credit they secure for you. If there’s no credit, you pay nothing.
