In July 2023, the IRS announced that the agency would be intensifying compliance efforts due to increasing "questionable" Employee Retention Credit claims. These efforts include increased audits and criminal investigations against promotors and businesses. Businesses receiving improper ERC payments could be required to pay them back along with significant civil and potentially criminal penalties. The rules for ERC eligibility are complex. In the event of an audit it is important to have competent representation to help navigate through the audit process.
