Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Employee Retention Credit?

The ERC is a refundable tax credit for employers introduced early in the COVID-19 pandemic to help employers keep their employees on payroll.

How do I apply for an ERC refund?

There are three steps to applying for the ERC.

  1. Determine your business’s eligibility
  2. Calculate the qualified wages paid by the business
  3. Claim the ERC on the business’s amended quarterly tax returns.

What are the ERC filing deadlines for 2020 and 2021?

As of April 15, 2024, businesses can no longer claim qualified wages paid during 2020.

However, qualified wages paid during 2021 can still be claimed until April 15, 2025.

How long does it take to receive the ERC refund?

The IRS has currently placed a processing moratorium on ERC claims which has caused significant delays. It may take over 8 months to receive your ERC refund at this point.

What happens if I incorrectly claimed the ERC?

If you incorrectly claimed the ERC and received a refund, you may have to repay it with possible interest or penalties.

If your claim has not yet been processed or paid, you may be able to withdraw your claim.

How can I withdraw my refund?

The process by which you can withdraw your claim depends on whether your claim is under audit and whether you have already received your refund. 

Read our article, “IRS Releases ERC Withdrawal Process Details”, for a more thorough explanation.

What is Letter 6612?

The IRS has been mailing Letter 6612 to employers with pending ERC claims as a notice that the organization is auditing your tax return claiming the ERC refund. Any refund will be held until the audit is concluded.
