ETHICS: Handling Employee Retention Credit Audits and Investigations: Coloring in the Lines
Claims for Employee Retention Credits (“ERCs”) have proliferated exponentially. To address questionable claims, the IRS recently announced a Voluntary Withdrawal and Voluntary Disclosure Program to give taxpayers with possibly ineligible claims an opportunity to come forward, cooperate with the IRS, and, in return, minimize their financial exposure including penalties. The IRS is also aggressively auditing ERC claims and pursuing penalties and criminal prosecutions for ERC related abusive schemes and fraud. This panel of experienced practitioners discusses the IRS’s targeted enforcement efforts, explains how to spot red flags indicating abuse of the ERC, describes the penalties that apply to taxpayers, promoters, and practitioners for erroneously claiming ERC credits, and addresses the filing of the corresponding wage reduction on an income tax return.
