Meet Frank Malandro, Public Service to Profitable Entrepreneur

CEO & Co-Founder

Frank's journey from "Public Service to Profitable Entrepreneur" is based on determination and resilience. He transitioned from the security of a government job to pursuing his dream of entrepreneurship, and it was far from an easy path. Countless hours were spent late nights with just a laptop, and sleepless nights were a common occurrence as he went all in on the world of business and finance.

Through hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to learning the intricacies of the funding game, Frank achieved what seemed impossible. He gained access to the vast capital resources necessary to fund multiple startup businesses, each making a significant impact in their respective industries.

Frequently Asked Questions

 What Is the Self Employed Tax Credit (SETC)?

The Self Employed Tax Credit (SETC) is a tax benefit designed for individuals who are self-employed. It allows them to claim a credit on their tax return, reducing the amount of tax they owe, based on specific qualifying expenses related to their business activities.

 Who Is Eligible for Self Employed Tax Credit (SETC)?

Eligibility for the SETC is generally for individuals who are self-employed, including freelancers, independent contractors, and small business owners. Eligibility criteria often include reporting self-employment income and meeting certain expense or income thresholds.

 Can I Still Apply for SETC in 2023?

Yes, there is still time to claim most of the SETC tax credit, but you have to act fast if you want to beat the deadline and get yours before the funds dry up. This tax credit can be complicated, so don’t wait to apply.

 How Is SETC Different From ERC?

Yes, the SETC and ERC are different. The SETC is aimed at self-employed individuals, offering them a tax credit based on their business expenses. In contrast, the ERC is designed for employers, providing a tax credit to encourage them to keep employees on their payroll during specific challenging economic periods.

 Why Is This The First Time I'm Hearing About The SETC?

First of all when the Paycheck Protection Program was announced it was in a different time in the world where all eyes were on the Small Business Association. That program was a first of its kind and thus made a lot more noise (and was marketed much heavier) than the Self Employed Tax Credit or the Employee Retention Credit.
In our opinion the Self Employed Tax Credit is even better as you don't have to pay any of it back and you can get it even if you already got the Paycheck Protection Program.
Most CPAs and bookkeepers don't even know this exists which is why it's important to file with us so that we can expedite the process and get you back as much as possible.

 Why Can't My CPA/Bookkeeper Do This For Me?

In our experience less than 5% of CPAs/Bookkeepers even know that this credit exists and those that do most likely are using outdated information (for example previously you could not get this credit if you got PPP, but that changed recently and many CPAs/Bookkeepers aren't claiming it for their clients).
There are over 70,000 pages of tax code which means it would be impossible to be an expert on all of it. We're specialists in this field and us and our partners have gotten back Billions for small businesses around the United States. Your CPA/Bookkeeper is more of a generalist and will likely just fill out the form without thinking much of it potentially leaving you with hundreds of thousands of dollars you could have gotten back if you did it the right way.
We have a full team of specialists who can work with your CPA/Bookkeeper to get the necessary information required and make it as smooth a process as possible for you.

 How to You Qualify for ERC in 2022?

There is still time to apply for the ERTC tax credit in 2022. The credit is no longer available for current claims, but you can claim it retroactively by amending your employment tax returns. The IRS lets you amend returns and claim refunds for up to three years after the filing deadline. That means the deadline for claiming the ERTC is three years after the original due date for the tax return. It's important to note however that the IRS is likely to end the program when they run out of funds so having us start this process immediately is imperative to securing your refund before it's too late.

 Is the SETC Credit Taxable?

The answer is no, but it does impact your income tax return. The benefits of receiving the credit far outweigh its effect on your taxes.

 How Much Does It Cost?

The initial analysis to determine your eligibility and approximate credit is completely free. If you file for an SETC with us, we will invoice you a set fee based on the range of your refund and the work required.

 How Will I "Use" a Tax Credit?

This program is not an “income tax credit” and not related to your annual business tax returns or your profit/loss from the business. Although it is called a tax credit, it is most frequently received as a cash payment (typically in the form of a check) from the IRS. You may also use it to offset future payroll tax payments.

 What If I Own Multiple Businesses? 

Perhaps the most complicated aspect of the ERC program, separate businesses under common ownership that meet IRS Controlled Group criteria must be evaluated together for eligibility. If the tests are passed, all entities are eligible; if not, none are eligible. The ERC is then calculated and filed for each separately. If you apply through us we can easily walk you through this entire process and make sure you're filing forms in a way that is most beneficial to you.

 How Long Will It Take To Get My Refund?

Once we receive your application and documents our work will be complete within 48 business hours (other companies take 15-45 days). You’ll receive refund checks from the US Treasury in 2-3 months depending upon backlog. The longer you wait, the longer it will take!
