Recover the tip tax credits your restaurant may be missing

Eligible restaurants can claim the federal FICA Tip Tax Credit for a portion of the Social Security and Medicare taxes paid on employee tips above the federal minimum wage. Restaurant Tips Tax Credit helps businesses understand this often-overlooked opportunity and take the next step toward claiming what they have earned. 

Support built around your restaurant

From a first look at your potential eligibility to a clear path for calculating and documenting the credit, our services are designed to help restaurant employers pursue a legitimate federal tax credit with confidence.

Eligibility review

Start with a practical review of your tipped positions, payroll records, and operating details to see whether the FICA Tip Tax Credit may apply to your restaurant.

Credit calculation guidance

Understand how the credit is based on eligible employee tips above the federal minimum wage and the related employer-paid Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Documentation support

Organize the payroll and tip information needed for a well-supported calculation, so you can have a more informed conversation with your tax professional.

Restaurant-focused insight

Many restaurants leave thousands—and sometimes tens of thousands—of dollars unclaimed because the opportunity was not identified or calculated. We focus on making the credit easier to recognize.

A federal tax credit, not a loan or grant

The FICA Tip Tax Credit is a legitimate federal tax credit established by Congress to help eligible employers. It is not a loan, and it is not a grant. For restaurants with tipped employees, it can offer a meaningful way to recover part of qualifying payroll tax costs.

Don’t let an overlooked credit stay unclaimed

Your CPA may not have been aware of this opportunity or may not have calculated it. A focused review can help reveal whether your restaurant has a potential FICA Tip Tax Credit to pursue.
