Discovery
$0
Estimate, attestations, and the full CPA packet - free to generate and download.
When it's real
15%
Of the attested credit in your packet - charged only after your CPA files and you mark it filed.
Each additional location
10%
Multi-unit owners run every location under one login - the first bills at 15%, every additional one at 10%. (3+ referrals also unlock 10%.)
Referred by a discount partner (often your own CPA)? Your rate is 12%. You always pay the single best rate you qualify for - discounts never stack on top of each other.
The math, honestly
Say your packet shows $12,000 in attested credits and your CPA files it. Your fee is $1,800 (15%) - you keep $10,200 you weren't going to see otherwise. If your CPA had found nothing worth filing, you'd owe $0 and the look cost you two minutes of payroll connection.
Everything included
- Upload your payroll report (or type your numbers) - all eight credit engines
- De-duplicated estimate (no wage dollar counted twice)
- The full CPA packet - line-keyed IRS form schedules, free to generate and download
- No-login link for your accountant to confirm figures
- Compliance radar (WOTC 28-day deadlines, §45R 25-FTE cliff warnings)
- Year-round workspace - come back each season and regenerate
What you never pay
- No upfront fee, ever
- No subscription
- No card required to see your number or download your packet
- Nothing owed if your CPA decides not to claim a credit
- If the IRS later reverses or reduces a credit, we refund the fee share - the fee only rests on credits you keep
If the ERC mess made you skeptical - good.
The ERC scandal happened because middlemen charged 20–30% upfront, filed aggressive claims on your behalf, and vanished when the IRS came asking. P.A.I.D. is built as the structural opposite:
They filed for you.
We never file. Your own CPA reviews every number and files - or doesn't.
They charged upfront.
You pay $0 until your CPA has filed and the credit is real.
They inflated claims.
Our math is conservative, de-duplicated, and gated on your signed attestations - every figure is checkable against the actual IRS form lines.
They vanished at audit time.
Your packet IS the audit trail - inputs, rules, worksheets, and attestations, kept with your return like any other workpaper.
These are permanent credits Congress wrote into the Code (§§45B, 45R, 45E, 44) - not a pandemic program. Your accountant can verify every one.
