With state and federal tax filing deadlines now in the rearview mirror, we are turning our sights on another. The closing of the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claim window back on April 15, 2025. While claims can no longer be filed, an estimated 597,000 claims remain unprocessed. Given the uncertainty created by the current administration’s changes at the IRS, the ERC could be eliminated at any time with a stroke of the president’s pen. We are laser-focused on resolving pending claims for our clients as well as claims prepared by other firms. Let us help you and your business overcome the ERC’s three biggest challenges:
1. Waiting to qualify and receive a check
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) reports to Congress and intervenes when the IRS fails to act. We work with TAS to expedite your ERC refund. We also engage with your congressional representative to pressure the IRS. We can file legal action to secure your ERC funds as well as reimbursement for our fees and costs as your attorneys.
2. Receiving a rejection to your ERC claim
We quickly file for an appeal if your ERC claim is denied. Because of a groundbreaking Supreme Court decision in 2024, we are well-positioned to go through the court system to challenge IRS denials, especially those based on faulty automated systems. Rely on your team at Moskowitz LLP to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
3. Facing an ERC audit
The IRS leverages ERC audits as a safeguard against fraudulent claims and to retrieve ineligible payments. While the intent behind these audits is admirable (and understandable), the audit process is imperfect and can erroneously flag legitimate business and claims. We defend your ERC claim and support your right to keep your funds.
The ERC was originally created to help struggling businesses in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, but years later it still causes confusion and frustration. As your advocates through the entire ERC process, we are by your side to help ensure clear communication, respect for taxpayers’ rights and timely processing by the IRS.
ERC Client Success Story
We successfully appealed a client’s rejected ERC claim and provided expedited representation throughout the process. So far, they have received over $257,000 in refunds, with more expected. That’s an ROI of 11 — an example of how expert representation, experience and persistence can pay off.
What Clients Are Saying
“I reached out to Moskowitz LLP for help pursuing ERC reimbursement from the IRS. I had no luck making any progress on my own, and although the government stopped processing for a considerable time, Moskowitz was able to leverage their contacts to expedite and ultimately resolve the long-awaited reimbursement. Very professional, responsive and capable, highly recommend them for any type of business matters that need legal help.” — Google Review
“I applied and was approved for 4 ERC payments and only received 3. I waited for approximately 1 year to get the final payment without success. I contacted Steve’s office frequently trying to get an answer of when I would get the final payment. I was offered an accelerated program that Steve suggested and I got my final payment in full before I even got the bill from my credit card company for the fee. All I can say is it was super quick and well with the extra fee to secure the payment……thanks to Steve and his staff!!” — Google Review
