We recently received a letter regarding an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claim where the IRS acknowledged a processing error on their end. The issue? They initially rejected a signed Form 941-X because the title “CEO” didn’t align with a partnership structure—when in reality, they should have validated the signer as a general member on the account.
After reviewing the file, the IRS admitted the error, corrected it, and resubmitted the claim using the original received date of March 10, 2023.
The result: a refund of $1,392,253.87, plus interest.
This is a strong reminder that:
IRS determinations are not always final
Errors happen—even at the highest levels
Having someone who knows how to challenge and follow through matters
If something doesn’t look right with your tax situation, it’s worth taking a second look.
