ERC Audits and Appeals
Our ERC audit process is designed to provide businesses with a detailed analysis of the viability of their claims. Our experience as tax attorneys will equip your business with accurate and actionable insights to help you secure your refund and mitigate risks.
Our tax lawyers understand procedural rights and they have a substantial amount of experience with the audit process. We understand how best to respond to Form 4564, Information Document Request, and work with Revenue Agents in employment tax audits.
Moreover, having a tax law firm involved early in the process allows the taxpayer to evaluate all options. If a resolution cannot be reached with the IRS Revenue Agent and their Manager, the taxpayer is entitled to an Administrative Appeal with an IRS Appeals Officer who has not had previous involvement with the case. Finally, If an agreement cannot be reached administratively, the taxpayer has the right to file an action in the United States District Court or the Court of Federal Claims. The taxpayer can then work with the Department of Justice Tax Attorney on resolution or proceed to trial on their entitlement to the Employee Retention Credit.
