Mr. Werfel communicated that the IRS is focused on changing the way it processes these claims and on communicating the eligibility criteria to taxpayers. He also indicated a willingness to work with employers who received the credit, but were not actually entitled to it, allowing taxpayers to pay back the funds to the IRS in a way that works for their businesses.
