If you are still missing an ERC payment, here is the latest information I have, based on 5 categories:
Clients who filed using a PEO (Private Employer Organization)
It appears there are quite a few PEO's that have received payments from the IRS, but have not released them. If you are unsure your PEO is being transparent, Jorns & Associates has contracted a law firm that will communicate on your behalf with the PEO. I am hopeful this will make a difference.
Clients with a payment that was disallowed without an IRS audit.
These disallowances were based on a faulty IRS algorithm. If this is you, I’m assuming you filed an appeal with your ERC provider. As it gets close to 24 months after appeal, it’s vital that you receive an extension of time. The IRS opened a portal to help with these requests, but it’s been very problematic. Please email me, or email your ERC provider and copy me, so that we do not miss this extension.
Clients who have lost checks
Your ERC provider should be on top of this, but don’t hesitate to keep following up, and copy me in any emails.
Clients with payments that have not been paid out
Good news. We’ve seen a pick up in processing the past 2 weeks. We were told by IRS officials more payments would be processed by the end of 2nd quarter, so hopefully in July your check will arrive. Nonetheless, feel free to email your ERC provider and copy me to inquire. Additionally, if you have not yet done so, I highly recommend contacting the office of one of your U.S. Senators and asking for their assistance.
Clients whose Q3 of 2021 payment was retroactively cut off by legislation
Good news. We are now aware of some tax attorneys who are preparing to go after these. It’s not ready to go yet, but I’m optimistic these payments will get released in the future. No promises, and it could be another 2 years. However, the interest paid will be enormous.
Do you know an employer that had at least 25 full time employees in 2021 who did NOT file for ERC, and might want to claim these funds?
A recent federal court case has opened the door for them, but the deadline to file is July 10, 2026. Have them reach out to me asap. They might thank you for many years to come. :)
