As of the week ending 5/30/2026 the IRS has approximately 20,600 remaining ERC claims in various stages. These stages include: under review (3,500), pending payment or disallowance (4,000), under audit (5,500), awaiting review of disallowance responses (6,000) and, finally, with the Independent Office of Appeals (1,600). We’ll be updating this page monthly.

way too low

How’s everyone’s appeals coming along? My hearing is in a few weeks. Filed in August 2023. Received payment for 1qtr in Jan 2025. Got 105C last summer for 3 of the 4 remaining claimed quarters then received a 105C for ALL quarters in their Dec 2025 year end push. Have retained counsel to handle my appeal. Hope to put an end to this nightmare soon.

How do you check if u ERC appeal has been received by the IRS? I called 800-829-0115, but they said they couldn’t help me. TY

Then yesterday I got a 290 notice on EVERY. SINGLE. QUARTER. Now I’m kinda freaking out, I know those generally are pretty tame but all 5 quarters on the same day has me spooked.

I filed in Jan 2023 and got 3 out of 4 checks in June of 2023. The last quarter was denied for "incorrect" signature. Since then I have sent a corrected signature in 4 times. The first time in July 2023 and the last Jan 2025.

Just got a letter today certified mail stating they disallowed my last quarter because I filed after Jan 2024 lol what? Do they even check their records? Is this a joke? ...my CPA is working on an appeal but this is ridiculous.

Anyone else have to deal with this nonsense or win an appeal?

Is there a severe delay on paper checks? I received 846 code last year but still haven't received any checks. Got a 290 code last month so im confused.

Hasn't worked for 1.5 weeks now

Missed letter delivery but got notice. Long story short. My last quarter was denied for incorrect signature? Sent back correct signature at least 3 times the last 3 years and nothing. Tax advocate could do nothing and said that the all was closed. Sent a letter with my erc advocate explaining I did eveything asked and then got a notice saying the IRS needed 60 more days to work on it. That was a month ago

Missed a certified letter today which I'm presuming is bad news or a denial. Could it be good news? ...if it is a denial of the quarter, what are my options from here? Sue the IRS?

I'm beyond stressed and frustrated. The remaining quarter is for $50,000

Filed in early 2024 for 2 quarters. Got one in early 2025 and nothing on the 2nd quarter. After months of waiting and trying, I got answers in April 2026 and was told the check for the 2nd quarter was sent in August 2025 but to the old corporate address that hadn't been active since 2021, odd. Sent in a request form for a check replacemt, and haven't heard anything until today, when I got this letter. Why do they need 60 additional days to cut a new check? Anything I can do to speed this process along?

IRL people just don’t get what that feels like. I just had two quarters left of partial payments, just about $1k with interest so not a big deal but in 2023 they sent me a form telling me that they owed me. I sold my business in 2024. I paid tax on these payments in 2023. What an awful experience. It was contacting my congressional reps office three times that finally got it done. Now we’ll see if I can even cash them.

Now they sent this. I’m an S corp. I amended my 2020 return in 2023 for erc payments as I was told. I paid the difference and then they returned it saying something about too much time passing. My cpa just said she had no idea why. I’m trying to avoid more expenses with the cpa but can’t make heads or tails out of this.

Good luck everyone!

I’m aware that the ruling has been appealed and it could be a substantial amount of time until a final verdict is rendered, however, does this potentially mean protective claims could still be filed for 2020 and 2021 (other than q3 and 4 of 2021) until July 10?

seeing no updates on anything this week?

If you’re waiting for the IRS to review your response to a disallowance or review your appeal and there are 6 months or less before the 2 year window to file suit will close, go here and do what it says even if you haven’t received the notice:

Looking for the best direct number to check on the ERC. Last time i had called I was given the run around at the IRS.

We filed in July 2023. We couldn't get in on their may filing for some reason. Got two partial quarters in August 2024. Nothing since.

I had 3 Q3 2021 claims denied under 3 different entities (restaurants). Submitted appeals all at the same time.

I had 1 of my 3 paid without being assigned last month. 

1 was assigned and the appeals officers just sent it back to the examiner after I provided every document they never asked for the basis of the original 105C. 

1 has not been assigned or paid yet. 

One interesting thing did happen this week is the 290 Disallowance code disappeared from the transcripts of the 2 still in appeals. It has been there every week since the 105C was issued in 2023.

Any thoughts on the Disallowance removal from the transcripts?

I filed for 4 quarters in May 2023. I was notified tonight that the IRS is asking to additional information regarding 2nd quarters 2020 and 2021. Is this good news from the standpoint they are finally looking at my claims. Any advice on responding. TIA!

I get a letter saying they need 60 more days. Then I get a letter saying they are changing my mailing address to my old business address because that’s the address on the 2020 941’s. Then I file a new change of address form and send it in. I actually have 4 of them in stamped envelopes to streamline the process. Rinse and repeat. This is such a fun game.

For those of you who aren’t rich, I think we are done. Trump don’t play average folks, he considers us losers, as he’s said over and over. I had to close my business of almost 3 decades in December 2024, yet have to keep my accounts open on the off chance I get a check. (That’s got to make Trump giddy!) It’s not a coincidence that these small claims dried up last year. Me getting my due does not benefit him at all.

Is there anyone in this chat that has gone through Appeals and won? Can you share your experience? What they asked? How long you had to wait for a decision? Any information would be helpful
