  ERC Claim Reviews

Many taxpayers have ERC questions regarding eligibility, withdrawing an ERC claim, the ERC Voluntary Disclosure Program, recordkeeping and scams.  

We examine ERC claim documentation and calculations prepared to claim benefits under the laws and regulations governing the ERC. 

Isn’t it better to know whether you may have a problem or not?

  ERC Claim Remediation

After completing an ERC Claim Review, additional steps may be required to reasonably claim benefits under the laws and regulations governing the ERC program. 

That’s ok. We can help.  We help taxpayers compile audit-ready workpapers to support their ERC claims (even if they were prepared by someone else).

  ERC Claim Defense

Proposed legislation extends the IRS audit period for ERC claims  to six years.

Taxpayers seeking to avoid the hassle and expense of locating and hiring experts to defend ERC claims can proactively arrange for IRS representation and defense services. Focus on operating your businesses instead of your ERC claim. Never face the IRS alone.

  ERC Claim Collection

The IRS has a backlog of over one million ERC claims.  The IRS Commissioner asked Congress for more time to resume processing.  Taxpayers, however, do have options other than waiting.

We can help accelerate the ERC claim collection process.

 

What if I haven’t claimed the ERC credit yet?

Kept employees during the pandemic but have not yet claimed ERC? It is not too late to see if you qualify to claim a payroll tax refund.

Since its inception, the ERC program has been difficult to understand, and the IRS has struggled to provide consistent, reliable guidance. The ERC was created by Congress to aid businesses in surviving and recovering from the financial stress created by pandemic-era government. We’re here to help, regardless of what stage your ERC claim may (or may not) be in.

Filed for ERC, but haven’t received my claim: Can I get my cash faster?

You are not alone.  Many other corporate taxpayers were hard-hit by the pandemic and are financially challenged by the economic aftermath that has not only persisted but grown worse.  

The IRS has improperly restricted the availability of ERC payments to the Taxpayer based on unlawful legislative rules that were issued in violation of the APA, 5 U.S.C. §553(b). Congress afforded the IRS rulemaking authority under the CARES Act. See 26 U.S.C. §3134(m). But instead of issuing regulations, the IRS legislated improperly through guidance documents, thereby bypassing the mandatory notice-and-comment rulemaking process and eliminating the transparency and deliberation it offers. By doing so, the IRS stripped the Taxpayer of its right to participate.

We are here to help.  We are execution focused CPAs, tax attorneys, operators, and technologists with extensive ERC Program knowledge bolstered by Big 4 trained ERC preparers, claims management specialists, and IRS audit defense teams.

 

ERC Claim Review: Am I prepared for an IRS ERC audit?

Regardless of whether you used your CPA, a large accounting firm, or responded to an unsolicited ad, call, email or text from an ERC promoter, your ERC documentation may not meet IRS’s current eligibility requirements.  

•    Do you have your workpapers?
•    Will your ERC preparer really protect you in an audit?
•    What does protection look like?

Current legislation provides the IRS a six-year window to audit.  You do not want to be caught off guard with non-compliant workpapers.  

Our ERC Audit Defense platform automatically screens and risk scores ERC claims and facilitates the aggregation of support required to defend ERC program eligibility to the IRS. Isn’t it better to know whether you may have a problem or not?

We are execution focused CPAs, tax attorneys, operators, and technologists with extensive ERC Program knowledge bolstered by Big 4 trained ERC preparers, claims management specialists, and IRS audit defense teams.

 

 

The IRS has flagged my ERC claim for review or denial: How do I navigate an IRS audit?

The statutes that created the ERC were broadly worded.  This means that many if not most Taxpayers should be eligible under a plain reading of those statutes. The IRS does not have the legal authority to add restrictions that would reduce your eligibility to claim COVID-19 credits – that was Congress’s prerogative.

If you have received an inquiry from the IRS about your ERC payroll refund claim, it is important to engage with a team of qualified tax professionals with demonstrated ERC claim preparation and audit defense expertise as soon as possible.

We will work with you to support your ERC eligibility and defend you through to the completion of the audit process. This includes meeting and formally corresponding with the IRS auditor on your behalf and defending you through the highest level of appeals.

The IRS has adopted a variety of playbooks for approaching taxpayers with ERC claims.  Depending upon a number of factors, including your size, industry, profitability, legal entity type, and congressional district, the nature of the questions and their approach will differ.  Understanding this process, as well as the laws (and politics) governing the ERC program, is critical to preparing your defensive strategy.  We’re here to help.

We are execution focused CPAs, tax attorneys, operators, and technologists with extensive ERC Program knowledge bolstered by Big 4 trained ERC preparers, claims management specialists, and IRS audit defense teams.

Understanding the ERC Program & Submitting New Claims: Can I still claim ERC?

The short answer is yes.  If you kept employees during the pandemic, it is not too late to see if you qualify to claim an ERC (payroll tax refund).  

If there is a basis for you to claim ERC, we will request certain documents be provided through a secure portal.  We will then identify, analyze, calculate, and document the ERC payroll refund amount that you are eligible to receive from the IRS.
