Course Description

This webinar is ideal for CPAs, accounting professionals, and tax practitioners who are being inundated with Employee Retention Credit (ERC) requests from their clients. Over the past three years, your clients have been subject to endless ERC marketing, as well as confusing and conflicting information online, including on the IRS website itself.

This webinar will provide an overview of the most common client misperceptions and how to best navigate those concerns. We will explain the current state of IRS activity concerning the Employee Retention Credit and what that activity could mean for the program moving forward.
