Your Options in the Face of an IRS Challenge
Our tax lawyers have substantial experience with the audit process and understand procedural rights. Having a tax law firm involved early allows you to evaluate all options.
1. ERC Audits and Administrative Appeals
- Audit Defense: We understand how best to respond to Form 4564, Information Document Request, and work with Revenue Agents in employment tax audits.
- Administrative Appeal: If a resolution cannot be reached with the IRS Revenue Agent, the taxpayer is entitled to an Administrative Appeal with an IRS Appeals Officer who has not had previous involvement with the case.
2. ERC Litigation
- When Litigation is Necessary: If your claim is denied or stalled, or an agreement cannot be reached administratively, ERC litigation may be your best recourse.
- The Process: This involves suing the IRS to recover your rightful credit. You have the right to file an action in the United States District Court or the Court of Federal Claims. You would then work with a Department of Justice Tax Attorney on resolution or proceed to trial on your entitlement to the credit.
3. Addressing Denials and Improper Claims
- Claim Denied? You Have Options: An IRS denial does not mean you must lose your ERC refund. Our experienced tax attorneys can help set things right, even if a third-party provider filed an improper claim.
- Aggressive Advocacy: Our law firm has a deep understanding of the complex ERC regulations and will aggressively advocate for your interests, including taking your case to court if necessary.
Additional ERC Services
- ERC Second Opinions and Risk Assessments: If you have doubts about the accuracy of your existing ERC claim or worry about potential audit risks, we offer second opinions and risk assessments. A free second opinion can ensure you maximized your refund.
- Expedite Your ERC Refund: If a refund delay is causing undue financial hardship, we can help by trying to expedite your claim through the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) by filing a 911 claim, or by filing a refund suit.
- Problems with ERC Provider or PEO: If you encountered roadblocks from your PEO or believe an ERC company incorrectly analyzed or calculated your credit, there are legal remedies available.
