IRS Has Concerns about the Employee Retention Credit Refund Scams

Considering recent developments in tax compliance, we wanted to provide you with necessary information regarding the IRS’s increased scrutiny of Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims, a topic of significant concern for businesses.

The ERC, established as part of pandemic relief efforts, is a valuable tax credit designed to assist businesses impacted by COVID-19.  Given the massive scope of relief provided through the ERC program, the IRS is expected to intensify its efforts to ensure compliance. This increased scrutiny means businesses must be more vigilant than ever regarding ERC claims. Failure to accurately document and support these claims could lead to audits, penalties, and legal consequences.

Action Steps:

  1. Review Your ERC Claims:

    It is crucial to revisit and thoroughly review any ERC claims your business has made. Ensure all claims are accurate, well-documented, and supported by necessary records.

  2. Documentation:

    Maintain meticulous records related to your ERC claims, including employee retention documents, financial records, and any other supporting evidence. These records are your best defense in case of an IRS audit.

  3. Stay Informed:

    Keep abreast of IRS guidelines and regulations related to the ERC. As the IRS continues to refine its audit processes, understanding and adhering to the latest requirements are critical.
