Employers who outsourced payroll: Consult the third-party payer Many employers outsource their payroll obligations to a third party. These third-party payers generally file one employment tax return using the third party's employer identification number to report its own and its clients' information. In these arrangements, the third-party payer must file Form 15434, Application for Employee Retention Credit Voluntary Disclosure Program. See the Form 15434 and its instructions for details. Withdrawal program still available for pending ERC claims The IRS continues to accept and process requests to withdraw a full ERC claim. Employers that haven't yet paid back an improperly claimed ERC can avoid future penalties and interest by withdrawing their claim before they receive a refund. They can also withdraw their claim if they've received a check but haven't deposited or cashed it. Back to top           Thank you for subscribing to IRS Tax Tips, an IRS e-mail service.
