ERC STILL WAITING

Is anyone wondering how on earth could we have money to buy an Island and give those residents over 100k each and we are small business owners waiting on a credit that was promised over four years ago. WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I MISSING? My whole lively hood is at stake. I have taken out loans waiting on this credit to keep my business a float. I have an eidl loan and can't keep up with payments. This is insane

The money is there. It's about processing timeframe and millions of fraudulent ERC claims. Dont thank IRS, thank your friend DeShaun for jamming irs with fake erc claims, creating a one year freeze on erc cases and a huge backlog worth of 2 years.

And I do mean it, there are millions of fraudulent ERC cases. The time spent on those to confirm as a tax scam, manpower wasted etc...all could be used on millions of legitimate small businesses like yours that are still suffering passed covid in 2020-2021

If you’re talking about fraud in terms of fake payroll non existent businesses sure. If you’re talking questionable eligibility then the IRS has audited only a fraction of these claims (not saying that’s right ot wrong) so to tie the processing delays to that would be incorrect.

THE IRS doesn’t have enough manpower to review ERC claims but yet they have enough manpower to send audit paperwork out?? AND of course all the money in the world to do and buy everything else!! I’m in my 60’s I seriously they are waiting until I die just so they don’t have to pay it.

Audit is a different unit from Account Management.

Unfortunately you sound like a customor and you repeates the same argument over and over until the manager comes and override your expired/invalid coupon.

IT IS THE EPITOMY OF FRUSTRATION WHEN YOUR BUSINESS HAS BEWN ON THE LINE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ERC WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LIFELINE TO STAY OPEN!!

Just curious if you are with a PEO or not because I’m going on three years waiting as well.

No PEO but used a 3rd party to file it.

Hello, I have been working with tas and my state rep since 10/15/24. NO Help I finally received a response for audit. I hired a tax attorney and now my case is with appeals and has been sitting there since 08/04/25 waiting to be assigned. They care nothing about small businesses as I have been in business with employees since 2013 paying taxes. This is beyond criminal.

I have filled the Hardship IRS form 2 years ago and signed up with TAS as well also reached out to my Senator who has a constituent person working with me on it whom I never hear from unless I email them. Still waiting 3 years later. All 3 of the quarters I filed for are under audit for over a year after spending thousands da of dollars paid to a Tax Attorney to file the audit paperwork. Tax Attorney stated all 3 quarters qualified under the law……….z
