IRS-defensible process

From intake to audit-ready compensation memo in three clear steps.

The guided calculation collects the facts, documents the reasoning, and produces support designed to stand up to IRS scrutiny.

  1. Select your day-to-day tasks

    After confirming your ZIP-based wage area and weekly hours, select the specific tasks that make up your day-to-day business operations so the analysis reflects the work you actually perform.

  2. Choose your level of support

    Continue with the report technology on your own, or choose CPA support when you want professional judgment, questions answered, or help with your calculation.
