Employee Retention Tax Credit Update: What You Should Know About Audits, Disclosures and IRS Enforcement

The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) program has been in the IRS crosshairs for over a year. Congress is considering an early termination to the program, but new claims presently can continue to be filed through April 15, 2025. Increased awareness about aggressive or inappropriate claims facilitated by ERTC promoters has left many employers concerned about the propriety of claims they previously filed, and what steps they may take to allay those concerns.
