HUGE issues with fraudulent ERC claims - thanks to deceptive marketing. The IRS placed a hold on all ERC claims because there were so many small businesses who hired these scam businesses and filed claims when they weren't eligible to begin with. Large penalities and interest, payback of the ERC refunds, even criminal prosecutions etc - it's a hot mess. So - IF YOU HIRED A COMPANY AND NOT YOUR CPA TO FILE AN ERC CLAIM - I strongly suggest you read up on it. The IRS is in full audit mode to catch everyone who got an ERC who shouldn't have. The IRS has also opened a new withdrawal process for business to remove their claims before getting their refunds if you fear you were part of a scam business you hired. Read more below on the withdrawal process as well as the hold on any new ERC claims!

IR-2023-193, Oct. 19, 2023 — As part of a larger effort to protect small businesses and organizations from scams, the IRS today announced the details of a special withdrawal process to help those who filed an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claim and are concerned about its accuracy.

AVOID ERC (employee retention credit) SCAMS! Please read more from the IRS on how to qualify for the ERC and the RISK if you claim it when you shouldn't. They are spending a LARGE amount of resources following up on these ERC claims - so if you filed your 2022 tax return with ERC on it, make sure you did so with a reputable CPA. If you're thinking of trying to claim it on an amended return, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CPA.

IR-2023-170, Sept. 14, 2023 — The Internal Revenue Service continues to warn businesses to watch out for aggressive marketing by nefarious actors involving the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and urged people to watch out for red flags that can signal trouble.

Not a client but a wonderful referral none the less! She came to me recommended by a trusted source and was just super! I’m a big fan of referring since 90% of my own clients find me that way. Give her a try if you’re in the market for a house cleaner!
