The indicators, built on feedback from the tax professional community and IRS compliance personnel, center on misinformation some unscrupulous ERC promoters used. Many of these groups urged taxpayers to ignore advice from trusted tax professionals and claim the pandemic-era credit even though they may not qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alert comes as a March 22, 2024, deadline approaches for the ERC\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/employee-retention-credit-voluntary-disclosure-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Voluntary Disclosure Program<\/a>\u00a0for anyone that filed a claim in error and received a payment; the disclosure program allows businesses to repay just 80% of the claim. Taxpayers who filed a claim previously that hasn\u2019t been processed should also review the guidelines and quickly pursue the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/withdraw-an-employee-retention-credit-erc-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">claim withdrawal process<\/a>\u00a0if they now see their claim is ineligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the common red flags being seen on ERC claims that the IRS is focusing on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Too many quarters being claimed.<\/strong>\u00a0Some promoters have urged employers to claim the ERC for all quarters that the credit was available. Qualifying for all quarters is uncommon, and this could be a sign of an incorrect claim. Employers should carefully review their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eligibility<\/a>\u00a0for each quarter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Government orders that don\u2019t qualify.<\/strong>\u00a0Some promoters have told employers they can claim the ERC if any government order was in place in their area, even if their operations weren\u2019t affected or if they chose to suspend their business operations voluntarily. This is false. To claim the ERC under government order rules:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Government orders must have been in effect and the employer\u2019s operations must have been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit#collapseCollapsible1703256460218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fully or partially suspended<\/a>\u00a0by the government order during the period for which they\u2019re claiming the credit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The government order must be due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The order must be a government order, not guidance, a recommendation or a statement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some promoters suggest that an employer qualifies based on communications from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This is generally not true. See the ERC FAQ about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit#collapseCollapsible1703256460214\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OSHA communications<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/lanoa\/am-2023-007.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2023 legal memo on OSHA communications<\/a>\u00a0for details and examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The frequently asked questions about ERC\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit#qualifying\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Qualifying Government Orders<\/a>\u00a0section of IRS.gov has helpful examples. Employers should make sure they have documentation of the government order related to COVID-19 and how and when it suspended their operations. Employers should avoid a promoter that supplies a generic narrative about a government order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Too many employees and wrong calculations.<\/strong>\u00a0Employers should be cautious about claiming the ERC for all wages paid to every employee on their payroll. The law changed throughout 2020 and 2021. There are dollar limits and varying credit amounts, and employers need to meet certain rules for wages to be considered\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit#qualified\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">qualified wages<\/a>, depending on the tax period. The IRS urges employers to carefully review all calculations and to avoid overclaiming the credit, which can happen if an employer erroneously uses the same credit amount across multiple tax periods for each employee. For details about credit amounts, see the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/employee-retention-credit-2020-vs-2021-comparison-chart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Employee Retention Credit &#8211; 2020 vs 2021 Comparison Chart<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business citing supply chain issues.<\/strong>\u00a0Qualifying for ERC based on a supply chain disruption is very uncommon. A supply chain disruption by itself doesn\u2019t qualify an employer for ERC. An employer needs to ensure that their supplier\u2019s government order meets the requirements. Employers should carefully review the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit#supply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rules on supply chain issues<\/a>\u00a0and examples in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/lanoa\/am-2023-005-508v.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2023 legal memo on supply chain disruptions<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business claiming ERC for too much of a tax period.<\/strong>\u00a0It&#8217;s possible, but uncommon, for an employer to qualify for ERC for the entire calendar quarter if their business operations were fully or partially suspended due to a government order during a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit#collapseCollapsible1703256460215\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">portion of a calendar quarter<\/a>. A business in this situation can claim ERC only for wages paid during the suspension period, not the whole quarter. Businesses should check their claim for overstated qualifying wages and should keep payroll records that support their claim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business didn\u2019t pay wages or didn\u2019t exist during eligibility period.<\/strong>\u00a0Employers can only claim ERC for tax periods when they paid wages to employees. Some taxpayers claimed the ERC but records available to the IRS show they didn\u2019t have any employees. Others have claimed ERC for tax periods before they even had an employer identification number with the IRS, meaning the business didn\u2019t exist during the eligibility period. The IRS has started disallowing these claims, and more work continues in this area as well as other aspects of ERC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promoter says there\u2019s nothing to lose.<\/strong>\u00a0Businesses should be on high alert with any ERC promoter who urged them to claim ERC because they \u201chave nothing to lose.\u201d Businesses that incorrectly claim the ERC risk repayment requirements, penalties, interest, audit and potential expenses of hiring someone to help resolve the incorrect claim, amend previous returns or represent them in an audit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resolving incorrect ERC claims<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses that are not eligible for ERC but have received it \u2013 as a check that\u2019s been cashed or deposited, or in the form of a credit applied to a tax period \u2013 may be able to participate in the IRS\u2019s ERC\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/employee-retention-credit-voluntary-disclosure-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Voluntary Disclosure Program<\/a>.

They should not cash or deposit their check.

Businesses can use this option if they haven\u2019t received the payment, or they&#8217;ve received a check but haven\u2019t deposited or cashed it. If a taxpayer\u2019s withdrawal request is accepted, the IRS will treat the claim as though it was never filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resources and tools to learn more about ERC eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/coronavirus\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-employee-retention-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">frequently asked questions on ERC<\/a>\u00a0include links to additional resources and some helpful examples.
