Hi

I sent out an email blast concerning the massive campaign to get small businesses to sign up for the employee retention tax credit.  There are a number of groups advertising on the radio to get you in and sign you up.  This is actually number one on this year’s IRS Dirty Dozen.  This is the number one target for the IRS this year. 

The companies applying for the employee retention tax credit are saying they can get the money for you even if you have been told you didn’t qualify.  They will qualify you for the employee retention tax credit. 

They are using every trick in the book to qualify you.  They get 15% of the employee retention tax credit money you will get.  When you are audited three years from now, they will have bankrupted their company and be long gone.

Maybe you should know what they are doing. One of you who got my last email sent me this:

Thank you so much for writing on this topic. The only reason I became aware of it is because a gentleman whom I was trying to help launch a business in 2022 had hooked up with one of these fraudulent scam companies swearing to get him funds. He came to me with 7 social security numbers and identities that the scam company had furnished to be his employees! They actually committed identity fraud and supplied this possible client of mine with fake or stolen identities to use as his employee list. He needed me to come up with quarterly wage statements back dated that would make the numbers “crunch” at first glance. I told this potential client of mine to F$&* Off, once I realized what he was into.  

This will be serious fraud when the IRS comes knocking.  The IRS will probably say that every one of the employee retention tax credit returns the big company prepared are fraudulent.  Whether yours is a fraud or not, the IRS will target you, just because you worked with the company.  If the IRS alleges fraud, that means the IRS has forever to audit you.  There is no statute of limitations on fraud.

Please be careful!
