Forbes Article: National Taxpayer Advocate Urges IRS To Clear The ERC Backlog

In her latest article for Forbes, Managing Member Guinevere Moore writes about National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins’ renewed call for the IRS to process all pending Employee Retention Credit claims. Collins urged the IRS to process all claims promptly – whether that means allowing them, disallowing them, or referring them for audit.

“Taxpayers have waited far too long for these refunds. As a practical matter, the IRS has been devoting resources preparing for and administering the filing season, and as a consequence, some cases may languish,” Collins said. She believes, however, there is an end in sight for the initial processing for the vast majority of claims but notes the IRS still has work to do.
