Employee Retention Credit Claims

Taxpayers should be aware of aggressive pitches
from scammers who promote large refunds related
to the Employee Retention Credit.

With ads all over the internet, social
media and radio, fraudulent promoters
try to con ineligible people to claim the
credit.

These promotions have false
information about who’s eligible and
how the IRS calculates the credit.

Some of these ads exist solely to
collect fees from the taxpayer or to take
the taxpayer's personal info and steal
their identity.
