Any updates on 2021 COVID Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims? Still waiting or received?
Filed for COVID credits for my business back in 2021 still nothing on my transcripts. Starting to wonder if anyone has actually gotten their credits processed or if were all just sitting here waiting. Anyone got any movement or success stories to share?

Tax professional here - the IRS is severely backlogged with ERC claims. They've implemented additional verification procedures due to widespread fraud. Current processing time is 9-12 months minimum. Make sure you have all your documentation ready if they request additional verification.

•Unfortunately yes. They're scrutinizing claims extra carefully now because of all the ERC mills that popped up

Hey guys, I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It showed exactly why my claim was held up and what I needed to do. Worth the dollar it costs tbh https://taxr.ai

•For real? What exactly does it tell you? Been trying to decode these transcripts for months 🤔

•It basically uses AI to read your transcript and explains everything in plain English. Shows processing stages, flags potential issues, even estimates when you might get paid. Saved me hours of googling fr
