Read MoreThe IRS, with its Criminal Investigation (CI) arm, has urged businesses to review eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). To combat fraud, they intensified compliance efforts related to this pandemic-era credit. Businesses wrongly claiming the ERC are advised to consider applying for the Voluntary Disclosure Program before the March 22 deadline. A special withdrawal program is also available for those with eligibility concerns on pending claims. Both programs aimed to help employers to avoid penalties and interest on incorrect claims. CI special agents plan to conduct nationwide educational sessions in February for tax professionals, focusing on the ERC. These sessions, part of a broader initiative, will be held in at least 23 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The IRS has implemented several initiatives to address inappropriate claims by businesses. Some key points are listed below.
