Frequently asked questions
- What is a Premium Pay Stub Report?
- A 12-page printable PDF that walks through every line on the pay stub uploaded, compares it to standard rates and IRS Pub 15-T expectations, and lays out a checklist of items to verify with payroll. Educational only, not professional advice.
- How long does it take?
- Most reports are emailed within 60 minutes of upload. Complex multi-state stubs can take up to 24 hours.
- How is my data handled?
- The pay stub image is processed by an AI vision model under a no-training agreement, the structured extract is stored encrypted for 30 days, and the original image is deleted within 24 hours. Cover SSN, bank, and any identifiers before upload.
- Is this tax advice?
- No. PayslipIQ is educational only and not a CPA, attorney, or tax preparer. Always confirm anything that could affect a tax return with a qualified professional.
- Can I get a refund?
- Yes, within 7 days of delivery if the report did not match the upload, no questions asked.
- Will the report identify employer errors?
- It will flag deductions that look outside standard ranges and prompt questions for payroll. It will not declare an error or instruct an employer correction. That is the role of the worker, payroll, and a CPA.
