Employee Retention Credits Tax Controversy Services

Our ERC Client Advocacy Services

Petition for Refund: Many taxpayers have qualifying claims that have not been processed even though filed more than six months ago. Some taxpayers have been waiting two years. First, we verify the claim and build the substantiation. Second, we petition the IRS courts to process the return. Third, we work through the procedural steps all the way until our client receives the refund check they are owed.

IRS Notice Defense: We represent our clients to the IRS. As CPAs and tax law experts, we have years of experience navigating the administrative processes of the IRS. Historically, we have enjoyed positive outcomes because we focus on both making it easy for the agency—impeccable paperwork—and always keeping in mind that the agents of the IRS don’t want to punish people, only get to the correct answer. We make that process easy for them. Our belief, if you treat people like they are your neighbors, you almost always achieve favorable results.

Audit Readiness: Many taxpayers received large refund checks of $500,000 or more. Given the Service’s concern about fraud, some taxpayers are worried about their lack of sufficient written substantion should the IRS attempt to claw back the money. To provide peace of mind, we provide substantiation services. We stand behind our work. We not only defend our clients should a subsequent audit occur, but our confidence allows us to put our fees at risk.
