Employer Retention Credit (ERC)
Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP)

This Program has Ended

Program Ends March 22, 2024

ERC-VDP

The IRS is cracking down on employers who erroneously claimed ERC funds.

Voluntary participants in this program are required to pay only 80% of the improperly claimed ERC amount without facing penalties or interest charges.  

If funds already received, and are determined to be erroneous, the IRS may pose a 75% penalty on top of the return of 100% of the funds.

Am I at risk?

The most common reasons that Employee Retention Credit claims are being found erroneous include aggressive interpretations of eligibility criteria, misinterpretation of the rules, and misinformation, often propagated by third-party promoters. These promoters may have encouraged businesses to apply for the credit even when they did not meet the necessary qualifications, leading to erroneous claims.

Concerned?

Meinershagen & Co can help.  Let us take a professional look at your claim to determine its viability to see if you should be participating in the ERC Voluntary Disclosure Program. The Voluntary Disclosure Program ends March 22, 2024.
