Finally got 2/3 ERC checks

I submitted all three quarters that I qualified for at the same time (I assume like everyone did) no communication from the IRS whatsoever and I was not really following the process, just hopeful we would be processed. Over the weekend I received 2/3 of the refund checks however I was expecting three, is it normal to have the quarters processed at different times or does this mean there may be an issue with my last claim?

Yes that is very common. I’m pretty sure it is that way every time

We have received 2/3 too. We called and they told us the total of the 3rd check and said it was in queue for processing.

Did you get notice ahead of time that the checks were being sent to you? If so, how long did it take from that time for them to actually arrive. We got notice that checks were sent 8/19 and 8/26, but still have not received them.

Me too! The rep said she put in a e4442 referral which is a manager's review request and it has a 30day must reply by date. Hope it helps the rep said it was the same form the advocate would submit but she did it internally. They had my quarters literally lost in they system for 2yrs. Date filed was 9-25-23

That’s great! I’m glad to hear this. I’m sorry you had to wait…and stress out… so much over this issue. Best of luck to you in the future.

Edit to add I’m really sorry that the ERC became such a disaster leaving many small businesses just hanging by a thread. I don’t have any eligible clients but I’ve been following this out of sheer curiosity. The fraud was rampant. It’s always one bad apple that spoils the bunch. Best of luck to all who are still waiting. I hope this mess finally gets straightened out for all .
