Are you wondering how the new developments with the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) may impact your business? To clarify, the IRS has announced that they will suspend processing new ERC applications at least until the end of 2023. This decision stems from a surge of fraudulent applications and the sheer number of aggressive promoters, often preying on unsuspecting business owners.

In the long run, this pause in processing could be a significant advantage for businesses with legitimate claims. Let’s delve into why this development matters and how it can be a benefit to you.

Enhanced Legitimacy

The IRS suspension, coupled with increased scrutiny, contributes to maintaining the credibility of the ERC program. It reassures businesses that the program remains a reliable source for those with valid claims. With the ERC’s legitimacy intact, legitimate applicants can confidently access the support they need.

Reduced Competition

Fraudulent and aggressive promoters have been a concern in the ERC landscape, creating fierce competition for funds. The suspension effectively curbs fraudulent activity, leading to fewer competitors vying for ERC resources. This reduction in competition enhances your chances of securing your rightful ERC credits.

Timely Processing 

One of the significant challenges businesses faced was delayed processing of ERC applications due to a backlog of claims. With the IRS suspension’s aim to tackle fraudulent applications, this backlog is expected to diminish. This means faster and more efficient processing for businesses with legitimate claims.

Penalty-Free

Business owners who genuinely qualify for ERC benefit from the suspension. Legitimate applicants won’t face the risk of penalties or interest on their claims.

Fewer Fraud Risks

Aggressive and illegal promoters often lure businesses into fraudulent schemes. With the IRS’s intensified scrutiny and the crackdown on such promoters, legitimate businesses are less likely to get caught up in these schemes. Your business can operate within the bounds of the law, avoiding potential legal and financial complications.

Fair Access

As the IRS focuses on preventing abuse of the ERC program, it ensures that businesses with genuine needs receive their well-deserved credits. The emphasis shifts towards equitable distribution, ensuring that businesses can access the support they require during challenging times.
