ERC Audit Defense
Prepare, document, and defend Employee Retention Credit positions against IRS examination — before the audit letter forces improvisation.
ERC examinations are here — and they're substantive.
The IRS has openly stated it is auditing a significant share of ERC claims, with particular focus on partial suspension arguments and aggregation-rule failures.
Businesses that relied on promoter-prepared claim packages frequently find that the documentation supporting the position is thinner than the claim itself.
