What Trump’s Nominee for IRS Commissioner Could Mean for Employee Retention Tax Credit Enforcement

On May 20, 2025, former Missouri congressman, Billy Long, appeared before the Senate Finance Committee for his confirmation hearing as President Donald Trump’s nominee for IRS Commissioner.  Senators questioned Long about his role in promoting questionable tax credits, including Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERTC”) after leaving the House of Representatives in 2023.  Long also disclosed receiving financial compensation from these entities for his work promoting ERTC.  Given Long’s support for ERTC, there is speculation that the IRS could ease enforcement activity directed towards these credits.

Is Your 501(c)(3) Audit-Ready?

In the wake of the Trump Administration’s recent scrutiny of various nonprofit organizations, including Harvard University, and threats to revoke organizations’ tax-exempt status, nonprofit organizations should take proactive steps in the event of an IRS audit that may target their federal tax-exempt status. Proactive planning and preparation measures are essential to being well-equipped to deal with potential IRS inquiries or an audit. The faster and more efficiently an IRS inquiry can be concluded, the better likelihood of avoiding a full audit or worse, revocation of status. An organization may be particularly vulnerable where there has been any level of political involvement that could be viewed as controversial, but also involvement with activities and efforts focused on renewable energy and diversity, equity & inclusion (“DEI”) may now cause additional scrutiny of an organization’s tax-exempt status. Common potential foot-faults that can bring an organization into the crosshairs (and which are oftentimes not fully considered in light of potential risk of revocation of tax-exempt status) include negotiating typical agreements, including commercial contracting and similar arrangements, where contractual provisions may call for representations and commitments from a non-profit around its DEI efforts or similar efforts. Extra care should be taken to review such instances and other potential activities that may increase the organization’s risk of IRS audit.
