ERC

My client had a law firm do their ERC 941X and paid them $81,000 to do it. 

What I find odd is they did not do it for Q3 2020 or Q4 2021

 

What was filed was Q1 2020 Q2 2020 AND Q4 2020

Q1 2021 Q2 2021 AND Q3 2021 

 

Is it too late to file for Q3 2020 ERC? Was Q4 2021 and eligible date?

Did they qualify for those quarters?  Actually I should ask, did they qualify for any of the quarters?  That ERC money brought a lot of greedy, shady people out of the woodwork.

Yes, they did qualify for the quarters they got. Nothing is different for the other 2 questers so I'm wondering why it wasn't done and if it's too late?

Here is a link from IRS for latest update on ERC claims. (6/20/2024)

I would ask the law firm those questions, or ask your client to ask them those questions.

Or, show the client the IRS table for each type and time of eligibility, and tell them to refer to the info they provided to the form factory (oh, excuse me: law firm) and the forms as returned by the law firm. They should be able to answer the question. They paid for the service. Did they get their money's worth?
