In an era where every dollar counts, businesses are leaving substantial money on the table due to tax infrastructure gaps. Our recent analysis of post-Series A companies revealed a startling trend: 72% have significant disconnects between their payroll systems and IRS records, leading to trapped capital averaging $50,000-$100,000 per company.
The Hidden Tax Crisis Facing Growing Businesses
Consider this recent case: A venture-backed startup discovered $80,000 in unclaimed payroll refunds stuck in IRS systems due to a simple address mismatch between their payroll provider and IRS records. This isn't an isolated incident – it's becoming increasingly common as businesses scale rapidly and tax infrastructure struggles to keep pace.
