Just in time for the holidays, the IRS just announced plans to approve 500,000 ERC claims in the coming weeks with more to come in 2025.
The push to process claims, according to the IRS, is to “finish this race in terms of ERC.” Speaking at the 2024 ABA Section of Taxation Annual Criminal Tax Fraud and Tax Controversy Conference in Las Vegas, Commissioner Daniel Werfel stated that the IRS has brought its inventory of ERC claims within a reasonable range and that the IRS has “a better sense of where the ineligible claims are going to be.” The Commissioner also stated that he expects the IRS to approve another 500,000 to 600,000 claims in 2025. The IRS’ processing push follows the closure of the second ERC voluntary disclosure program in November.
It appears the proverbial dust is about to the settle on unprocessed ERC claims that have been pending with the IRS. Taxpayers with ERC claims without an IRS determination in January would be wise to consult a tax advisor to evaluate the claims and otherwise prepare for a potential IRS examination.
