IRS Update

On September 14th, 2023, the IRS released a statement ordering an immediate moratorium on processing new ERC applications until at least the end of the year. This action comes in response to bad actors overpromising the credit and falsely guaranteeing qualification as a way to collect steep up-front fees.

At ERC Specialists, we believe that this momentary pause will benefit business owners by reducing the number of untrustworthy and aggressive players in the space. While this IRS action will slow the processing of refunds, it DOES NOT indicate the closure of the ERC Program.

Clarity before you file

If you feel your business is eligible for the ERC program, due to being affected by Covid-19 shutdowns, we suggest you review our compiled list of shutdown orders and keep applicable documents in your records, as well as details showing how that order affected your business. ERC Specialists' Government Shutdown Tool gives our customers easy access to these shutdown orders so they can stay informed and make confident decisions.
