Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) and how can it benefit my business? +

The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) is a refundable tax credit available to eligible employers who experienced a decline in revenue due to COVID-19. It allows businesses to claim a credit equal to a percentage of qualified wages paid to employees during specific periods. Recent IRS scrutiny has increased, so it's crucial to ensure eligibility and proper documentation.

Why might my tax return be audited by the IRS? +

The IRS may audit a tax return for various reasons, including random selection, discrepancies in reported income, use of tax deductions or credits that are frequently targeted, or red flags from third-party information returns (e.g., W-2s, 1099s). Recent hiring of additional Revenue Agents has increased the number of audits nationwide.

What are the highlights from the IRS Crime Desk for early 2023 regarding federal criminal tax cases? +

Early 2023 highlights from the IRS Crime Desk include an increase in federal criminal tax cases, enforcement of tax evasion schemes, and ongoing investigations into financial and securities crimes. The IRS continues to prioritize the prosecution of serious tax-related offenses, emphasizing the importance of compliance and legal representation for those under investigation.
