ERTC ALERT!!! Employers DO NOT have to amend old tax returns if they received ERC. Instead, the IRS said to report the credit as income on the return for the year the refund was received. 🧵 1/ This is not tax advice. Consult with your CPA. www.irs.gov/coronavirus/...

2/ The IRS gives this example: Business A claimed an ERC of $700 based on $1,000 of qualified wages paid for tax year 2021 but did not reduce its deduction for wages in its income tax return for 2021.

3/ The IRS paid the claim to Business A in 2024, so Business A received the benefit of the ERC but hasn’t resolved its overstated wage expense on its income tax return. Business A does not need to amend its income tax return for tax year 2021.
