AI Agent — Manufacturing Tax Recovery

Your tax agent
never sleeps.

TaxSentinel monitors every jurisdiction, every category, every quarter — and files recovery claims the moment an opportunity surfaces. Manufacturers leave hundreds of thousands on the table every year. Most never know.

Four categories. Four ways to overpay.

Most manufacturers don't have a tax expert watching all of these simultaneously. That's exactly where the money goes — unchallenged, unclaimed.

Sales & Use Tax

Overpaid on manufacturing inputs, repair parts, R&D equipment, packaging. Georgia exempts manufacturing machinery. Most states have exemptions your AP team doesn't know to claim. We find every one.

Most common — highest recovery rate

Personal Property Tax

Machinery and equipment overassessed, wrong depreciation schedules, missed exemptions. The Brennan Group calls it "most companies overpay and don't know it." We catch it automatically, every cycle.

Historically manual — now automated

Real Estate Tax

County assessors use mass appraisal models — they miss property-specific conditions. TaxSentinel reviews every assessment against actual property characteristics and appeals when the numbers are wrong.

Savings of 10–20% on assessed value are common

R&D Tax Credits

Process improvement, automation development, prototype testing — all may qualify. The 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill restored immediate expensing and raised the Section 179 cap to $2.5M. If you build things, you probably qualify.

Expanded dramatically in 2025 — most missed

From raw data to refund, autonomously.

You connect once. TaxSentinel handles the rest — monitoring, identifying, filing, and reporting. You just watch the numbers come back.

01

Connect your data

AP records, fixed asset schedules, property records, prior tax filings. We ingest structured and unstructured data — no clean export required.

02

Scan every jurisdiction

All 50 states. Sales tax, use tax, property tax, real estate tax. We cross-reference every purchase and asset against current state rules — including recent law changes like the 2025 OBBBA provisions.

03

Identify and rank opportunities

Exemption gaps, overassessments, missed credits, recoverable overpayments. We score every finding by dollar value and filing complexity so you know what to prioritize.

04

File recovery claims automatically

Draft and file claims directly where supported. Route to your tax team where human sign-off is required. Report outcomes — credited, paid, denied — back to you automatically.

Outcomes, not reports.

Most tax tools give you a spreadsheet. TaxSentinel gives you a refund. Here's what's in every cycle:

Quarterly Tax Exposure Report

Every open exemption, every overassessment, every missed credit — ranked by dollar value.

Automated Recovery Filings

Claims filed wherever AI can. Human-required filings routed with pre-filled forms.

State Law Change Alerts

New exemptions, rate changes, filing deadline shifts — flagged when they affect your footprint.

Audit Defense Documentation

Exemption certificates, asset classifications, and compliance records — organized and at the ready.

Estimated annual recovery
$340,000
Based on $50M revenue manufacturer, 4-state footprint
Sales & Use Tax Recovery $180,000
Personal Property Tax Reduction $95,000
R&D Credits Identified $65,000
Actual results vary. Most manufacturers underestimate recovery potential by 40–60%.

You've seen the inside of this business.

You know manufacturers overpay every year across every state. You know most never catch it. You know what humans can and can't do at scale. TaxSentinel is the AI version of exactly what you do now — running 24/7, not just when someone has time to look.

The opportunity here isn't small. It's $127 billion annually, sitting unclaimed. Most of it sits indefinitely because the people who could find it don't have a team that can watch everything, all the time.

TaxSentinel can.
