IRS Finalizes Rule on Pandemic Excess Employment Tax Credits (1) - Bloomberg Tax

The IRS on Monday released final rules and removed temporary rules on the recapture of Covid-19 related tax credits that were erroneously distributed.

The agency initially released temporary and proposed rules on Sept. 8, 2021.

The final rules [TD 9978, RIN 1545-BQ08] adopt the proposed rules with minor adjustments. The erroneous refunds of the Covid-19 credits are treated as underpayments and subject to collection procedures, the rules said.
