Trevor breaks down the three-phase refund process and the 180-day clock most business owners don't realize is ticking. He exposes the six-figure filing mistakes he's personally caught before they cost real companies real money. Plus, he reveals the little-known buyout option that pays out 70–95% of your refund upfront, no strings attached. The government is sitting on billions it's legally required to hand back — and banking on the fact that most people never find out. This episode pulls back the curtain on exactly how that game works. 🔗 Connect with Trevor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestdressedcpa Website: https://hallcpas.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-k-hall-cpa-cfe-3b70466 ✅ Additional Resources Real Tariffs (tariff refund filing help): https://www.realtariffs.com Found Money Project (unclaimed money/settlements hub): https://www.foundmoneyproject.com ACE Secure Data Portal (official CBP account setup): https://ace.cbp.gov Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube .
