Employee Retention Credit (ERC) Services

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) was meant to be a lifeline for businesses battered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the complexities involved in applying for the credit, further exacerbated by fraudulent companies filing false claims and the ongoing IRS delays, have created a challenging environment for those businesses legitimately waiting for the money Congress intended them to receive. At the tax law firm of Moskowitz LLP, we are offering services advocating to expedite the receiving of your checks, knowledgeable audit representation, and fierce advocacy in the face of ERC rejections which only give you 30 days to appeal.

Expedited ERC Application Assistance

IRS processing delays for ERC claims have become a significant hurdle for many businesses. In response, Moskowitz LLP offers expedited services to help you secure your ERC refund as quickly as possible. We employ various strategies to advance your case:

  • Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Requests: The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Its primary role is to help taxpayers resolve issues they may have with the IRS and to advocate to protect the rights of taxpayers. By submitting a request to the TAS, we can urge this independent IRS organization to prioritize your ERC application.
  • Congressional Advocacy: We can present your case to your Congressional representative, encouraging them to intervene and push the IRS for faster processing of your claim. A congressional inquiry can potentially speed up the receipt of ERC checks by highlighting delays, facilitating communication, requesting accountability, prompting legislative support, and raising awareness within the media.
  • Refund Litigation: We can initiate a refund lawsuit in federal court. This legal action not only puts pressure on the IRS to expedite your case but may also encourage them to settle the dispute before trial. We will also ask the court to reimburse your legal fees.

ERC Audit Representation

If your ERC claim is selected for an audit, the stakes are high. The IRS audits ERC applications to verify the accuracy of the information provided and to determine if that business meets eligibility requirements. Moskowitz LLP is prepared to defend your claim through every step of the audit process:

  • Comprehensive Audit Defense: We carefully review your claim and documentation, preparing a solid defense strategy. We manage all communications with the IRS, because it is vital that your business is properly represented.
  • Minimizing Exposure: The IRS often scrutinizes calculations and assumptions made during the application process, which could result in penalties, interest, repayment of funds or even criminal prosecution. Our experienced tax attorneys work diligently to minimize your exposure and resolve audit issues in your favor.
  • Post-Audit Solutions: If the IRS alleges that you owe additional taxes or penalties, we will negotiate on your behalf to reduce or eliminate them. If necessary, we will file appeals or litigate to challenge the audit findings.

ERC Rejection Assistance

If your ERC claim is denied, time is of the essence. Taxpayers have only 30 days to appeal the IRS’s decision, taking immediate action is critical. Moskowitz LLP offers rejection representation because we want you to have the money to which you are legally entitled:

  • Thorough Review of Rejected Claims: We meticulously examine your rejected application to understand the reasons behind the denial and to identify any errors or discrepancies.
  • Appeal Filing: If warranted, we will file an administrative appeal on your behalf, presenting new evidence or clarifying issues that may have led to the rejection.
  • Litigation Support: If your appeal is denied, we are prepared to escalate your case to court, fighting for your right to the ERC refund your business deserves.
