Much has already been said about the wave of Employee Retention Credit disallowances that the IRS issued last week, including discussing how "clearly erroneous" they are (yes, IRS, two can play that game), how they show a complete disregard for any real effort to validate the credit, the lack of information about why the claim is being denied, and how many obfuscated taxpayer's right to appeal the decision (whether that is intentional or not is a whole separate issue). However, the last issue has presented a legitimate question for taxpayers and their representatives: if the letter provides no notice of appeal, how should an appeal be made?
