If IRS misinterpreted your Returns

You must respond timely and convincingly respond

IRS can inexplicitly and summarily dismiss valid claims.

IRS doesn't consistently consider all the different legal grounds that can apply to support and overcome refund claim denial.

IRS doesn't always consider or know all material facts that support your refund claim, or may misinterpret them. Your facts must be compellingly presented to overcome the denial.

ERC return negligence can be based on apparent:

Refund request for ineligible quarters.

Including employees who were not eligible for ERC credit consideration regardless of how much they were paid.

Including amounts paid to actual employees that exceeded the strict ERC pay ceiling limits. Not all payroll paid is eligible.

Total payroll may appear over-stated or inflated when compared to previous non-COVID periods.

Total number of employees claimed to be eligible may appear over-stated when compared to previous non-COVID periods

Civil fraud or Criminal fraud. IRS is on the hunt.

Civil fraud generally includes intentional disregard for tax code, rules and regulations. It can lead to 75% penalties being added to ERC refunds that must be returned. Interest accrues and grows until the total owed is paid to IRS.

Criminal fraud is based on the intent to violate the law. But, most importantly your freedom is at stake. Criminal tax fraud can be punished with time in prison, plus restitution.

Both situations require your pre-emptive actions. Taxpayers, Tax return preparers and people who assisted in the preparation of the ERC refund claims can be targeted, individually and in combination.

stop the domino effect of falling into ERC incorrect filing trap and avoid notices

ERC RISKS are VERY REAL

Even if you waited for months or years only to have the IRS reject, reduce your refund, or threaten you. ACT NOW!

Delays can compromise your claims and rights. You must ratchet your response to match or pre-empt the IRS's aggressiveness towards you.

Penalties and Interest could more than double what was claimed
