The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is set to deny tens of thousands of pandemic-era Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims deemed potentially fraudulent. An internal review revealed that up to 90 percent of the 1 million claims, representing $86 billion, are at risk of being improper. The IRS has extended a freeze on processing new claims amid widespread fraud concerns. The agency has requested Congress to scrap the ERC program due to the high volume of bogus claims. Deputy Commissioner Doug O'Donnell stated in court documents that the inventory of tax credit claims has grown to 1.4 million, with most filed before the processing pause.
