The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC) was created as part of the CARES Act to encourage businesses to continue paying employees by providing a credit to the eligible employer for wages paid to eligible employees. The refundable credit is available from March 13, 2020, through September 30, 2021, and can be utilized even if companies received PPP loans. Businesses that started up after February 15, 2020, are eligible for up to $100,000 of credits on wages paid from July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021.
Qualifying businesses can still claim 2020 and 2021 Employee Retention Credits until 2024 and 2025 respectively.
An Important Message from KBKG Principal Jason Melillo: Talk to Your CPA - They Have Your Best Interests in Mind.
There have been many companies falsely advertising who can qualify for these credits. The IRS has warned taxpayers to be wary of these ERC Mills. With the increased scrutiny you want to be sure you are working with a trustworthy provider. We stand by our CPA partners and advise you to work with them on choosing the right provider to mitigate risk.

IRS Warns Taxpayers of Improper ERC Claims & ERC Mills – But Plenty of Valid Claims Remain
The IRS recently published IR-2022-183, warning employers to be wary of third parties who are advising them to claim the credit when they may not even qualify. As part of this notice, the IRS included several red flags that business owners and CPAs should look out for, many of which we have highlighted in our previous articles featured in Accounting Today.
As ERC mills continue to market these positions aggressively, the IRS pointed concerned CPAs and taxpayers to Form 3949-A, which can be used for whistleblowers to report tax-related illegal activities related to ERC claims. While there is an alarming amount of fraud in this area, we continue to speak with CPAs and their clients who have legitimate cases for claims. Business owners should be wary of Credit companies using mass marketing techniques to contact them. It’s strongly recommended that businesses ask their CPA for a referral to a reputable firm with a proven track record dealing with IRS audits spanning at least 15 years.

According to the IRS
Be wary of third parties who are advising them to claim the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) when they may not qualify. Some third parties are taking improper positions related to taxpayer eligibility for and computation of the credit. These third parties often charge large upfront fees or a fee that is contingent on the amount of the refund . . .
