The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) has been providing valuable support to small and medium sized businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initiated by the government under the CARES Act, the ERC is tax relief and not a loan, making it worthwhile for organizations that suffered revenue losses or operational disruptions in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
However, in recent years, there has been a proliferation of fraudulent enterprises that specialize in the exploitation of the ERC. These entities, commonly referred to as 'ERC mills', exploit the ERC program by inflating claims on behalf of businesses, aiming to secure a substantial portion of the ERC refund for their own gains. Moreover, they may provide fabricated documentation to substantiate their assertions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently issued a cautionary advisory to businesses, urging vigilance when engaging with tax credit firms that encourage claims for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) which businesses might not legitimately qualify for.
