Employee Retention Credit Withdrawal and Voluntary Disclosure Programs

In the wake of the IRS’s recent announcements regarding the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) Withdrawal and Voluntary Disclosure Programs, many businesses are grappling with the complexities of assessing the legitimacy of their ERC claims.

The withdrawal program is for claims that have not yet been paid, and the voluntary disclosure program allows credit recipients to repay only 80% of their credits to the IRS. There is currently no deadline to withdraw a pending claim, but once it is paid, a decision has to be made whether to keep or return the payment. The clock is ticking toward the March 22, 2024, application deadline to make a voluntary disclosure. In short, the need for clear guidance has never been more urgent or critical.
