You're now claiming ERC for 2020 wages?

Yes you need to amend the 2020 return to reduce the wage expenses.

Yes, amended 941 returns were prepared in 2021 for 2020.  So, it doesn't matter whether they are cash or accrual basis?   The returns must be amended on both for retroactively claiming ERC.  Please verify that both basis of accounting are required to amend returns.  Thank you.
