Kentucky State University is a public, comprehensive, historically black land-grant University serving approximately 1,900 full-time and part-time students from around the world. The University is located at 400 East Main Street Frankfort, Kentucky. The University's 914-acre campus includes a 311-acre agricultural research farm and a 306-acre environmental education center.
Dr. Koffi Akakpo currently services as president of Kentucky State University. The University's vision is to prepare today's students as global citizens, lifelong learners and problem solvers. Kentucky State University is positioned to drive outcomes to enable the intended future of students through entrepreneurship, innovation, and social impact.
Kentucky State University is seeking a consultant to conduct an evaluation of KSU's payroll and other internal documents spanning from the earliest eligible date to the last eligible date for the purpose of determining our eligibility for the CARES Act ERTC. KSU's Payroll records and other finance records are easily accessible for the specified time period. This data will be made available to the consultant upon selection. Should KSU be eligible for the ERC, the consultant will proceed to apply and submit our tax credit claim with the support from the KSU team as required. Additionally, KSU requests that the selected consultant also deliver a tax opinion regarding our ERC eligibility to protect the University.
