How to claim your credits

In order to best determine your ERC eligibility, we encourage you to review the IRS's notices and procedures and frequently asked questions. Then, if you believe you're qualified, there are several ways to file your claim.

Option 1

Hire ERC GO

Here's the thing: we're payroll experts, and we know how to calculate Employee Retention Credits. There's a lot of rules that govern these calculations, and you don't want to mess them up and leave money on the table.

Pros
  • Credit is up to 20% higher on average
  • Extensive ERC program knowledge
  • Upfront fees or payments are not required
  • Free preliminary analysis
  • Industry-competitive pricing for services
Cons
  • A small service fee (but people say the faster, easier filing is totally worth it!)
  • We only deal with 941-X forms, and do not amend income tax returns (speak with your tax preparer or CPA to amend your returns)

This number is based on client averages and does not a guarantee any specific credit amount.

Option 2

Talk to your CPA

Most businesses already have a CPA. They are also able to help you file for the ERC program. But there are some things you need to consider before asking them for their help with your ERC claim.

Pros
  • Can help determine if you qualify for the program
  • Are already familiar with your business's finances
  • Will usually maintain tax-related documents
  • Can also amend your income tax returns to reflect the credits
Cons
  • Do not specialize in the ERC program
  • Are not payroll tax specialists
  • Rates are often more expensive
  • Unfamiliar with recent program changes
  • Usually calculate a smaller refund
  • No free preliminary analysis
Option 3

Do it yourself

If you don't want to pay anyone else to do it, you can always calculate and file for your ERC return(s) yourself. While there are definitely some pros to this method, it might not be the best idea.

Pros
  • 100% free to file with the IRS
  • No service fee since you're the one doing it
  • No need to worry about fraud or ERC scams
  • Can be completed at your own pace
Cons
  • Higher potential for mistakes leading to an audit
  • Risk of under or over claiming your ERC refund
  • Greater likelihood of IRS penalties
  • The cost of your time to calculate and file your claim
  • Over 200+ pages of tax code to interpret correctly
  • Lack of ERC program knowledge
  • No expert guidance or assistance
