Employee Retention Credit (ERC) Compliance
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) provided billions in financial relief to businesses that were impacted by the pandemic. However, allegations of abuse has led the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to issue numerous warnings and place the ERC on its annual Dirty Dozen list of tax scams. This increased level of IRS scrutiny presents a risk for taxpayers who claimed the credit.
