Payroll tax M&A

Recover the payroll tax your acquisition paid twice

When a business changes hands mid-year, FUTA and state unemployment wage bases often restart at zero for every employee who stayed on. That tax was already paid for the year, and it can come back to you. Enter your numbers to see what your acquisition could recover.

The estimate is the starting point

We confirm which employees qualify, rebuild the wage history across the transfer, file for the refund, and work the agencies directly until the money comes back. Our fee is a fraction of what you recover.
