The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a provision of the CARES Act designed to help businesses keep their employees during COVID-19. It allows businesses to claim up to $5,000 in 2020 and $21,000 in 2021 per employee in tax credits through their payroll taxes. However, the ERC can be a bit tricky to navigate, and in recent months the IRS has been warning of inflated or incorrect filing claims. That’s why we’re going to take a closer look at the ERC and understand why American Financial and Tax’s AI software is a game-changer for business owners.

ERC - COVID Relief Program
Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a stimulus program established by the CARES Act, developed to provide financial assistance to businesses that retained employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. The ERC is a grant (not a loan). It is funded by your tax credit that you can claim for your business!
Disaster Relief Tax Credit
If your business was out of service during the COVID-19 crisis or sustained damage from natural disasters such as hurricane, wildfire, or other qualified event, you may qualify for disaster relief tax credits.
IRS Warnings of Inflated or Incorrect Claims
The IRS has recently expressed concern over inflated or incorrect ERC claims. In particular, they are looking out for businesses that are claiming the credit for employees that were not actually retained during the pandemic or businesses claiming a much larger credit than they’re supposed to. The IRS is currently auditing thousands of businesses that made ERC claims, and if they find an error, businesses could face penalties or even criminal charges.
Why American Financial and Tax’s AI Software is a Game-Changer
Fortunately, American Financial and Tax has a solution. They are the only company that has an AI software that will check ERC filings for free, and give an audit assessment to check to see if the filings are correct. This is a game-changer, as it allows businesses to be proactive and catch any errors before the IRS does. The software also provides valuable insights on how to optimize your credit, ensuring that any money still owed is received, and if paybacks are necessary they will file this as well. Due to the extreme complexity of the ERC program 90% of CPA’s and ERC processing companies have unintentionally created miss filings for their clients. The only option currently available to find and fix these errors is American Financial & Tax’s proprietary Software, making them the only and clear choice for a company’s ERC needs.
The Benefits of Optimizing Your ERC Claim
Optimizing your ERC claim is not just about avoiding IRS audits or penalties, it also has direct benefits to your business. Businesses are leaving 10’s if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table due to incorrect in some cases, in others they are subjecting themselves to paying back the money they received with penalties upwards of 25% plus interest. Filing an optimized ERC claim can provide significant financial relief to your business and your peace of mind during a trying time.
