12/20/2023 – ERC – Employee Retention Credit- Tax Credit

Please be advised that ERC is still on Moratorium.  The IRS had placed this freeze on any new ERC submissions due to the scammers and the concern of the tax preparers.

As of yesterday, we have found that you are still able to file for ERC but the new filers will be worked on once they have gone through all the prior claims.

The scammers are back at it again.  What had happened… A wave of companies pushed small businesses to wrongly claim tax credit – the IRS had to temporarily stop the processing of new filings Sept of 2023.

Ineligible taxpayers will start receiving the 105 C Letter stating their claim was disallowed.  What is being rejected?  Those that wrongly claimed their entities existed or that they had paid employees when they did not during the eligibility time frame.

So here is what to look for.  Companies charging a high fee or now those that previously filed an ERC claim are being contacted stating they can provide upfront loans for their anticipated refund.

Fiona Ratzlaff is providing this information and doing the research.  We have all the information on what you need to know and what is safe and reasonable.

Want to learn more? Contact our office for details to help you make the right decision.

12/21/2023 – SETC- Self Employed Tax Credit

It has been confirmed that this tax credit is still available to Solpreneuers, Solo LLCs with or without W2 employees, Family Owned Businesses, Independent Contractors, and Freelancers.

Framework has 2 Trusted Businesses that process this through a secure portal to keep your information secure.  You can recieve up to $32,220 back.  How do you acquire this?

Contact our office, but before you do check to see if you filed a Schedule C, 1040 SE,  or a Partnership 1065…you might be eligible.

If you filed as an S-Corp, Sub-S under your LLC, or a C-Corp this will not work for you, we are sorry, but this is per the IRS guidelines.

As of today, the 2 companies we work in conjunction with have recouped over 122 Million for Gig Workers, some of my family members have received this tax credit as well.

We at Framework will walk you through what you need to do and have to file for this tax credit.  We are able to walk you through the process through Zoom and a secure web portal.
