    frequently asked questions

    Let’s Clear Up the Confusion

    It’s a federal tax credit available to employers who pay Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes on tipped wages reported by employees. It reduces your payroll tax liability—and in many cases, leads to a refund.

    Any food and beverage business where tipping is customary—restaurants, bars, cafés, nightclubs, and more.

    In most cases, they haven’t. This credit is often missed or excluded from standard payroll filings.

    Your FICA Tip Credit can be applied in three ways:

    1. Full Refund – You get a cash refund from the IRS. No upfront cost. Our fee comes out after the refund, or you can take an advance through Rubix.
    2. Partial Refund + Carryforward – Part is refunded now, the rest offsets future taxes. If your refund covers our fee, nothing is due at filing. Otherwise, we’ll invoice at filing.
    3. Full Carryforward – The full credit offsets future payroll taxes. Fees are due at filing, with Rubix financing available.

    Bottom line: No hidden charges. You only pay when you get paid — or at filing if no refund is issued.

    Not at all. We file fully IRS-compliant and audit-safe. You’ll have all the documentation you need.

    Nothing upfront. Checking your eligibility is 100% free, and there’s no obligation to move forward. Our fees only apply once your claim is filed, and they depend on how your refund is applied.

    Still unsure? The first step is simple, free, and could be worth thousands.
