Frequently asked questions
What's included in the flat fee?
Data collection, employee surveys, federal and state calculations, completed forms, detailed documentation, and direct support from Jesse.
Can't I just do this myself?
Technically, yes. Form 6765 is public. But between two calculation methods, the qualification rules, and the documentation the IRS expects, DIY founders tend to either under-claim or spend dozens of hours on it. Your part with TaxHound is a few hours total.
What states are supported?
California is available today. More states are on the way. Tell us which one you need and we'll see if we can prioritize it.
What if my credit ends up small?
If your calculated credit comes in under five times our fee, we refund enough that you never pay more than 20% of the calculated credit.
