What is the ERC?
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is NOT a grant or loan. This is a tax credit resulting in a refund of payroll taxes which your business paid during 2020 and 2021. The credit was created to reward businesses for retaining and paying their employees while government ordered shutdowns were in effect and supply chains were disrupted.
ERC Scams?
On October 19, 2022, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Information Releases (IR) 2022-183 warning employers “to be wary” of third-party consultants taking improper positions related to taxpayer eligibility to claim the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). These providers of ERC-related services typically charge large contingency fees based upon the size of the credit claimed and file fraudulent Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims.
By issuing IR 2022-183, the IRS cautioned taxpayers that they, and not the third-party consultant, are responsible for the filed claims. The IRS has made clear in its prior guidance that a government order does not include Center of Disease Control (CDC) or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published recommendations or best practices regarding a safe workplace even though adherence to that guidance may increase costs.
Similarly, large employers can only claim the credit with respect to wages paid to employees who were not providing services due to circumstances relating to a full or partial suspension of the operation of the business (as a result of a governmental order) or relating to a significant decline in gross receipts (excluding payments to employees for vacation pay, sick leave or other paid time off).
Many of these “overnight” ERC firms are ignoring this IRS guidance and processing claims improperly. Importantly, these firms are consistently failing to advise taxpayers of the requirement to reduce deductions claimed for wage expenses by the amount of the ERC credits (by filing an amended income tax return). By failing to advise taxpayers of this income adjustment, the credits appear more valuable than they are after considering the loss of deduction for the payroll taxes.
Work with the ERC Professional Group and avoid this trap for the unwary. We are tax attorneys who will be here for you tomorrow when and if the IRS comes knocking…
Benefits of a Legal Tax Opinion Letter?
The purpose of a tax opinion letter is to justify your tax position, should it be called into question by the IRS. A tax opinion letter can reduce the likelihood of an audit and provide a strong rationale for a tax position in support of a claimed credit by referring to specific IRS codes and rulings. Under IRS standards, the tax opinion must assume there will be an audit in every case. In the event of a subsequent audit, a tax opinion letter may be able to effectively protect a taxpayer from penalty liability if the position taken on the return is successfully challenged.
The legal Tax Opinion Letter should be prepared by a tax practitioner “knowledgeable in all areas of tax law.” That’s where we are different than most ERC firms. For every ERC filing, we secure a Tax Opinion Letter from our affiliated tax law firm – Tax Workout Group, in support of the position taken to establish entitlement of our client’s ERC, particularly in applying the business suspension rules.
