FAQ

Your questions, answered.

Everything you'd want to know before uploading your first invoice.

Is this legit? How is Reclaimt different from a scam?

We only ever show you recovery leads, not a promise of cash — every result is clearly marked as a lead, subject to confirmation by the Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) — or, for self-administered cities, the relevant city's tax office. There's no hidden catch — pricing is upfront, and the initial scan requires no card at all. If a lead doesn't hold up under that confirmation, you simply don't pursue it — there's no risk to you either way.

Is checking for a refund actually free?

Yes — the initial scan is completely free, no card required, and covers up to 2,000 vendor invoice records across up to 5 ship-to locations. You'll see your potential refund total right in the dashboard before you ever pay anything. If we find something, a small fee — starting at $29 — unlocks the full report and CSV export. Find nothing, pay nothing.

What's a "recovery lead," exactly?

A recovery lead is an invoice line where our scan found a gap between the local sales tax rate you were charged and the rate that actually applies to your address. It's a strong signal that you may be owed a refund — but it's not a guarantee. ALDOR has the final say on any actual refund — or, for self-administered cities, the relevant city's own tax office does — which is why we always call these "leads" rather than promising a dollar amount. Alabama requires a refund petition to be backed by your invoices, so verify each lead before filing.

Why pay if it's only a lead?

Without checking, you wouldn't know you may be owed anything. The scan is free. If it finds something, the fee unlocks the line-by-line detail needed to verify the leads and file the claim. Find nothing, pay nothing.

Do I have to deal with the state myself?

A refund claim is filed with ALDOR (or, for self-administered cities, the relevant city's tax office) and has to be backed by your actual invoices. For a small refund, filing it yourself can be reasonable if you can document it. For a larger one, have your accountant or CPA check the report against your invoices and file the claim.

Does this replace my CPA or accountant?

No. We give your accountant an organized starting point. They confirm the invoices support each lead and help you file, which matters most for larger amounts.

Is my invoice data secure?

Your invoices are uploaded securely and used only to run the sales tax analysis you're asking for. We don't sell your data or share it with anyone outside of what's needed to run your account.

What if I have more than 2,000 invoice records?

If you have more than 2,000 records, start with your highest-value invoices, such as your largest vendors or the lines with the most sales tax paid. The free scan covers up to 2,000 vendor invoice records and 5 ship-to locations. If a file has more, we scan the lines with the most sales tax paid first. Once you unlock your results you can keep uploading. If you later find a lot more to reclaim, or add a large amount of new data, a small added fee may apply to unlock the new results or continue processing, and we'll always show you the exact cost before anything is charged.

Can I keep uploading, and when should I file?

Yes. Upload as often as you like. File when you're ready and the leads have been checked against your invoices. Filing has time limits (generally three years from when the return was filed or two years from payment, whichever is later), so older invoices can age out.

Does Reclaimt only cover Alabama?

Right now, yes — Reclaimt is built specifically around Alabama's local sales tax structure, which is what makes it accurate enough to trust. Other states may come later.

How far back can my invoices go?

You can upload up to three years of vendor invoices. That window lines up with how far back Alabama generally allows refund claims to reach, so older invoices typically wouldn't be recoverable anyway.
