IRS Exam Training Materials on Employee Retention Credit

In a prior blog post, I discussed the IRS warnings about Employee Retention Credit (ERC) abuse and the IRS training more than 300 auditors and criminal investigators to examine claims involving the ERC. According to IRS officials, the auditors and criminal investigators have now all completed a 56-hour training course on ERCs.

Tax Notes obtained and published the 72-page training materials used by the IRS during the 56-hour training course, and you can find a copy of the training materials (HERE). This information is very basic and closely tracks the information provided to the public in IRS Notice 2021-20 and other public materials. Nonetheless, it will be helpful to any taxpayer who has applied for or received the ERC and their tax professional.
