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.  

Impact:  

  • Funds Recovered: $1.18M in ERC credits secured, including $300K initially withheld.  

  • Efficiency Gains: Playbook shortened resolution timelines for subsequent cases.  

  • Client Assurance: Transparent communication built confidence and trust.
