This CLE/CPE webinar will provide tax professionals guidance on handling IRS' ongoing examinations of employee retention credits (ERCs) claimed by businesses. The panelist will discuss and address recent IRS initiatives and key areas of focus, and provide business owners and tax counsel tactics for managing IRS examination of ERC claims.

Description

The IRS will be examining a substantial number of ERC claims. Counsel must be prepared to assist clients who have claimed the ERC credits and prepare for potential audits. The IRS will also be targeting various ERC promoters.

The ERC was implemented to help employers retain and pay employees during the COVID pandemic. However, these credits provided substantial amounts of money to businesses per employee and have been an area of focus for the unwary. There is no doubt that even those businesses with legitimate ERC claims must be prepared for a potential IRS examination.

Tax practitioners working with businesses that have taken advantage of the ERC need to prepare for IRS audits. Also, ERC companies that promoted these transactions will be under investigation.

Listen as the panel discusses and addresses practical tips for handling an ERC examination and other matters regarding withdrawals of ERC claims that have yet not been processed.
