Will your ERC claim pass review?
IRS announces that ERC audits and investigations will intensify.
We’ll Be Your Defense
As stated in IR-2024-78, the IRS is ramping up its
enforcement on inaccurate or false ERC claims,
leaving many businesses that worked with ERC
promoters in jeopardy.
If you have concerns about your ERC claim, the
time to act is now, as the IRS plans to send tens of
thousands more disallowance letters and audit
notices in the coming weeks.
Your claim could be considered fraudulent if
your business:
- Claimed all available quarters
- Claimed max value of credit (26k per employee)
- Provided no documentation of qualifying government mandates
- Provided no numerical calculation of more than nominal impact to business
- Failed to demonstrate a nexus between mandates and more than nominal impact
What We Do
Our ERC Controversy Services are tailored to help
businesses that may have erroneously claimed the
ERC credit.
Many businesses are unaware that their claims are
defective due to a horde of unscrupulous providers
that misled innocent business owners into falsely
overclaiming.
If you have doubts in the validity of your claim, or you
are already in audit, our team can help you get the
best resolution for your business.
Members of the alliantNational Team:
Our team, composed of world class experts in tax and law, includes five Commissioners as well as other officials, who understand how the IRS approaches fraud and their plans to combat faulty claims.

ERC Controversy Services
Refund Recovery
Wondering where your refund is? Through our decades of experience, we understand the best channels through which to collaborate with the IRS on your
claim. Our team will reach out to the Service on your
behalf, and work with you to see your claim through to
the end.
Remediation Services
Thinking you need to withdraw your claim? Our team,
armed with insights from our 9 former IRS executives,
understands how to work with the Service to resolve
the situation amicably. If you have questions about
the withdrawal program, we can help you navigate the

Audit Defense
Already in audit, or concerned you are at risk? Our
team can defend your ERC claim. We have decades of
experience successfully defending businesses from IRS
audits and understand how to follow the letter of the
law regarding claims. We can also help resolve issues
related to your former provider, including contracts,
fees, etc.
Documentation of more than nominal impact
Did your previous ERC provider provide any form of
documentation or substantiation that shows how it
was tied directly to government mandates? Did you
see a quantifiable (10%+) impact to the business?
Are you able to demonstrate the nexus between
the two?
If you are unaware of any of the above, or have
zero documentation tied to your claim, our team
can reconduct your study and help you truly evaluate how much benefit your entitled to. This way, you
have the documentation you need to defend your
claim.
Form 6612
Have you received a 6612 Letter? The IRS has begun
sending thousands of 6612 Letters out to businesses who filed an ERC claim following the moratorium last September. Recipients have 30 days to
respond or risk a disallowance of their claim. Our
team can evaluate your ERC study and help you
substantiate your existing claim, as well as highlight discrepancies caused by your previous provider.
