Support for ERC Claims, Reviews, and Audits
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC), also known as the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), was created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and later modified by additional legislation. Eligibility, amount, and availability of the credit depends on many factors, and there is significant confusion in the marketplace about who qualifies.
We are here to look at your finances holistically to determine eligibility, claim credits (proactively or retroactively), and assist with regulatory compliance related to the combination of all aid programs.
Our ERC services include:
- Claim Review: Independent assessment of filed ERC claims for eligibility and documentation
- Compliance Support: Guidance on ERC requirements and coordination with other pandemic-era aid programs
- Audit and Controversy Support: Representation and response support for IRS audits and notices
- Amended Return Support: Corrections when a claim needs to be adjusted or withdrawn
Frequently Asked Questions About ERC Claims
Is it too late to claim or fix an ERC claim?
The deadlines to file new ERC claims for 2020 and 2021 have passed. But if you already filed a claim, we can review it for eligibility and accuracy, help you respond to IRS questions or audits, and advise on amended returns if corrections are needed.
Can you claim the ERC if you’ve received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans?
Yes, but only under certain conditions. With our experienced guidance we can ensure your PPP loan forgiveness does not contradict your ERC claims.
Will the IRS be examining ERC claims?
The IRS has lengthened the assessment window for some ERC claims, and it continues to scrutinize them. That suggests auditors will be taking a close look at companies claiming the credit.
