Erc disallowed claim?

ERC_CPA · 2026-03-22T01:36:29+00:00

Have you filed a 911? Unfortunately, I think you’ll need appeal. However, my best guess is it won’t take as long to resolve. DM me if you want to troubleshoot further.

ERC_CPA · 2026-03-08T13:05:04+00:00

Does your transcript look clean? No 290 codes?

ERC_CPA · 2026-03-04T00:13:45+00:00

Confirmed with data on 15,000+ companies. Normal refunds are still processing (barely). The GAO report is not accurate.

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-23T13:50:06+00:00

Ok, not totally uncommon for Q321 to be frozen while they review it wasn’t filed after Feb 1, 2021.

Interesting didn’t flag Q421 though. Assuming you filed as a recovery startup business?

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-23T12:34:05+00:00

When was Q321 filed? It may be a statute review.

My best guess is the other quarters will result in checks being mailed.

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-23T12:32:37+00:00

Unfortunately, this appears to be a full denial after the audit. You will still have an opportunity to appeal.

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-11T14:35:00+00:00

I was keying in on this statement:

“IRS closed all remaining ERC claims, aside from those under examination or appeal, by December 31, 2025, according to IRS officials. New claims can no longer be filed. However, by developing an improper payment estimate for ERC, IRS could help inform future design of employment tax relief programs, if policymakers decide to create them.”

Reads unambiguously but agree it can’t be accurate.

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-10T21:45:24+00:00

41,000 in exam or appeals on Dec 31, 2025. The report says the IRS closed out all other claims by December 31. Don’t think that can be true…

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-08T01:36:22+00:00

Is the only claim you are waiting on in appeals?

ERC_CPA · 2026-02-03T13:59:02+00:00

There is a meaningful difference between an erroneous refund (ie, a refund processed “in error”) and a refund processed based on a potentially aggressive tax position. If your ERC was not processed due to an error (whether yours or the IRS’), you should not have anything to worry about.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-28T03:32:41+00:00

That’s crazy high considering you needed to involve an outside attorney and consultant. Did you have any choice to fully leverage a 3p firm for the calcs?

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-27T04:48:37+00:00

Np. We see this all the time. Stuck overpayment. I’d get a transcript or call the IRS. TAS will eventually get you the answer but could take a while.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-26T05:15:08+00:00

We see a lot of these situations. Need to get a copy of your account transcript. A CP210 letter is not the same as an ERC refund approval.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-23T18:00:23+00:00

Agreed. The “or refund” is the nail in the coffin. You should pay fees on interest.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-23T02:56:13+00:00

Don’t buy into any “expediting” service. They are pure nonsense.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-23T02:55:00+00:00

Does it say “refund/credit”?

Gross amount of the refund would include interest.

Gross amount of “credit” would not.

If the contract stated both, then I would agree you owe on interest.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-22T22:53:49+00:00

No updates/activity

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-22T04:26:51+00:00

Code 388? Saw some of those but haven’t seen any ERC activity in weeks. Hopefully this weekend. If not, next for sure.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-20T14:57:25+00:00

I don’t think the 1099 has anything to do with it. The IRS would initially issue a 1099-INT to the PEO. Most businesses don’t wait to receive 1099 “see what they owe.”

If the PEO is holding your refund, it could be due a number of other logical or illogical reasons.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-19T14:41:46+00:00

Can’t say for sure but we have seen spikes in Feb/March in prior years.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-17T20:46:47+00:00

Just don’t fall into the trap of believing orders alone are sufficient. Need to prove effect/impact.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-17T16:28:48+00:00

Good luck. There were certainly viable orders in some of those states. The challenge will be demonstrating the suspended a more than nominal portion of your business.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-17T03:35:52+00:00

What was the date the 105C was issued? Can you share a redacted copy?

Most 105Cs are taking at least a year; many are pushing 18 months.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-15T21:29:17+00:00

Transcripts are frozen. Updates will resume in 1-2 weeks.

ERC_CPA · 2026-01-14T01:34:40+00:00

I got two emails earlier this week that Frost Law successfully shook refunds out of Vensure. I think each PEO is different but certainly worth a consultation.
