If your Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC/ERC) claim was denied, delayed, or flagged for review, our attorneys help businesses fight back, challenge IRS decisions, and recover the refund they are legally entitled to.


If the IRS has not taken action on your Employee Retention Credit (ERC/ERTC) claim within six months, you have the legal right to file a lawsuit in federal district court or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. This option allows you to challenge excessive delays and take control of your case instead of waiting indefinitely for the IRS to respond.
Filing a lawsuit moves your claim out of the IRS’s backlog and places it before a neutral federal judge who can enforce deadlines and ensure a fair, timely review. For many businesses, this is the most effective way to break through stalled claims and push the process forward.
At Green Country Law Group, we focus exclusively on ERTC appeals, disputes, and litigation. Our attorneys understand the complex rules and documentation needed to support these claims, and we use proven legal strategies to challenge IRS inaction and fight for the refund your business is owed.

Many ERTC claims are delayed due to IRS backlogs, increased audits, and heightened scrutiny of past filings. Even legitimate claims are facing long processing times, often exceeding a year.
Yes. If the IRS has not acted on your claim within six months, you can file a lawsuit in federal district court or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to force a decision and move your case forward.
Filing a lawsuit removes your case from the IRS’s control and places it before a neutral federal judge. This helps establish clear timelines, requires the IRS to respond, and often speeds up resolution.
Yes. ERC appeals and litigation involve complex tax law, documentation, and legal arguments. An experienced tax attorney increases your chances of a successful outcome.
Absolutely. Many denials are caused by missing documentation, misinterpretation of shutdown rules, supply-chain issues, or errors by ERC promoters. An appeal can correct these issues and challenge the IRS’s decision.
We handle cases involving PEOs, payroll providers, and third-party ERC firms. Even if the original filer made mistakes, you may still have a valid claim.
Common documents include payroll records, shutdown orders, revenue comparisons, supply-chain evidence, and prior ERC filings. Our team helps reconstruct and strengthen documentation as needed.
Even if the IRS questioned your eligibility, you may still qualify based on shutdown orders, operational restrictions, vendor disruptions, or other documented impacts.
If your ERTC claim has been delayed, denied, or pulled into an IRS audit, you don’t have to face the process alone. Our attorneys review your case, assess your eligibility, and outline the strongest legal options to move your claim forward — whether through appeal, reconsideration, or litigation.
