Challenge:
The IRS misallocated Vela’s ERC filing, crediting Q2 wages to Q3 and reducing the refund amount. This left Q2 fully unapproved and threatened a seven-figure funding gap.
Solution:
Occams created a formal IRS advocacy package, escalated the case to the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), and engaged the client’s congressional representative to accelerate resolution. Developed a repeatable internal process for future misallocation cases.
