Employee Retention Credit (ERC)

How can Pearson Business Solutions help?

  1. ERC Risk Assessment. Your payroll company or an ERC mill claimed the credit for you offering big money but little substantiation. What you need is a trusted tax credit professional. PBS’s ERC compliance review will perform the due diligence they failed to provide and determine what credit has merit and should be allowed and what portions may carry risk. PBS will provide the documentation you’ll need to support your claim under IRS scrutiny. Or, in the event that you are not actually eligible, help you navigate the Voluntary Withdrawal or Voluntary Disclosure Programs.

  2. IRS Audit Support. Whether you received Letter 6612 auditing your ERC claim or Letter 105C/106C disallowing your unpaid claim, the next step is the same. You need to prove to the IRS that your ERC claim is legit. PBS is experienced with tax controversy (especially around ERC) and can represent you before the IRS to resolve the tax dispute. We will support you through examination, appeals, and litigation.

  3. 2021 ERC Claims. Sometimes it gets lost that no legislative changes have been made to ERC. Meaning you still have until April 15, 2025 to file ERC refund claims for 2021 on a 941-X. If you’re new to ERC or waited to see how it plays out, don’t worry—it’s not too late! PBS will perform a thorough credit study to identify which ERC rules apply to your business, establish eligibility, calculate the credit accounting for the various exclusions and double dips, and provide an audit-ready file to support your claim.

  4. ERC Refund Expediting. You filed your refund claim and it feels like the IRS has taken forever to process it. You’re not alone—the IRS is still working through its backlog of nearly 1.5m ERC claims. Talk to our ERC specialists about the various avenues to get your money faster.
