The Backlog
Still no ERC refund after filing in 2023? You are far from the only one.
The IRS paused large-scale processing and intensified its review standards to contain a surge of improper claims — and in doing so, trapped hundreds of thousands of legitimate businesses in an indefinite queue.
As of early April 2025, more than 597,000 ERC claims remained unprocessed in IRS inventory.
The direction is clear: you can remain stationary in a backlog with no defined exit, or you can engage a professional advocacy layer built to navigate your claim forward.

How It Works
1
Eligibility Review
We verify that your ERC filing is on record with the IRS and screen your case for any outstanding issues or processing obstacles.
2
IRS Authorization and Onboarding
You electronically execute IRS authorization forms, giving our team direct access to your transcripts and the authority to correspond with the IRS on your behalf.
3
Active Advocacy and Escalation
We conduct targeted refund tracing, analyze your transcripts, submit formal follow-up requests, and push your case through available escalation channels until it registers movement.
4
Refund Payment
Once the IRS processes and releases your funds, 95% of the original ERC amount is directed to you within the terms of the guarantee period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you prepare new ERC claims?
No. We work solely with claims that have already been filed with the IRS.
Why have so many refunds stalled?
The IRS restructured its review process to filter out improper claims, which slowed processing across the board and left many valid claims sitting in the backlog.
What exactly does your team do?
We deliver IRS advocacy through approved forms and procedures — checking status, tracing refunds, and escalating stalled cases. We do not prepare or alter ERC filings.
Is this process IRS-compliant?
Yes. We operate strictly within IRS-sanctioned procedures and current regulatory guidelines.
What do you need from me to get started?
Core business details, copies of your original filing, any IRS correspondence received, and completed authorization forms.
How will I know what is happening with my case?
You receive access to a secure client dashboard with scheduled updates and real-time notifications.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All client information is managed through encrypted systems and used only in connection with your IRS advocacy.
What if my claim is audited or rejected?
We look for red flags early. If complications surface, we walk you through the next applicable procedural or appeal steps
When do you get paid?
Only after the IRS releases your refund within the 120-day window. You retain 95% of the total amount.
Why not just continue waiting?
Passive waiting has left many businesses years without resolution. We substitute structured, active IRS engagement for indefinite inaction.
Your refund has a direction now. Let's move.
