Will your ERC claim pass review?

With the IRS ramping up enforcement on ERC claims, now is an ideal time to determine the status of your refund. Let our team help you make the right decision for your business

IRS announces that ERC audits and investigations will intensify.

As stated in IR-2024-78, the IRS is ramping up its enforcement on inaccurate or false ERC claims, leaving many businesses that worked with ERC promoters in jeopardy, and their CPAs with concerns about their liability.

If you have concerns about your ERC claim, or are a CPA looking to protect your clients, the time to act is now. The IRS plans to send tens of thousands more disallowance letters and audit notices in the coming weeks.

An ERC claim could be considered fraudulent if a business:

Claimed all available quarters
Claimed max value of credit (26k per employee)
Provided no documentation of qualifying government mandates
Provided no numerical calculation of more than nominal impact to business
Failed to demonstrate a nexus between mandates and more than nominal impact

Unknowingly Claimed Through a Payroll Provider

Payroll provider claimed ERC on taxpayer's behalf, resulting a $1.3M refund
Almost a year later, that taxpayer received audit notice for their claim, unaware that he had even taken the credit
Taxpayer reached out to their CPA, who recommended bringing the claim to our team for remidiation
alliantNational rebuilt the entire study and substantiated their claim, rectifying the situation with the IRS
Original credit claim was preserved with substantiation, allowing the business to keep those funds

Misled by a Fly-By-Night Provider into a 4x overclaim:

Taxpayer was approached by an ERC promoter, who made unrealistic promises about the credit
ERC promoter used only a questionnaire for substantiation, and informed the business qualified for $2.1MM across all quarters
Taxpayer filed claim and received refund, but later received an IRS audit notice
Taxpayer contacted our team for support, and we found that PPP and FFCRA were not taken into account in calculation of credit
Actual credit amount was $512k for only 2 quarters
