IRS creates withdrawal process for Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims

The IRS recently announced a withdrawal process for ERC claims to help those who filed an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claim and are concerned about its accuracy.

This new withdrawal option allows certain employers that filed an ERC claim but have not received a refund to withdraw their claim and avoid future repayment, interest and penalties.

Employers that submitted an ERC claim that's still being processed can withdraw their claim and avoid the possibility of getting a refund for which they're ineligible.

For more information on who qualifies and how to withdraw an ERC claim refer to: IRS.gov/withdrawmyERC.
