If your restaurant employees earn tips, the IRS lets you claim 7.65% of every dollar in tips as a tax credit — going back 3 years. Most NJ restaurants have never claimed it.
The FICA tip credit has been in the tax code since 1993. The average qualifying business has been leaving money on the table for years — not because they're careless, but because no one told them.
Every year you paid FICA taxes on your employees' tip wages — and never reclaimed the 7.65% credit the IRS owes you back.
The IRS only allows amended returns going back 3 years. Every month you wait costs you another month of recoverable credits.
FICA tip credits are a specialty area. Most general CPAs skip it. That's not their fault — but it's your loss.
If you have 2+ locations with tipped staff, your unclaimed credit is typically $30K–$90K+ across all sites.
