Course Description

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) was created in the CARES Act with the purpose of providing an incentive to employers who kept their employees on payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through subsequent expansion and extension, the ERC became a lucrative and targeted tax industry micro-niche, replete with bad actors providing misleading and inaccurate information. Excessive numbers of questionable ERC claims led the IRS to stop processing claims, offering a withdrawal mechanism, and eventually the ERC Voluntary Disclosure Program (ERC-VDP).

This course discusses the ERC-VDP from top to bottom: announcement, eligibility, participation terms, process, the application, considerations for taxpayers and for tax pros advising clients.
