Quick question: in the realm of tax practice, how is the work of completing and filing Employee Retention Credits for client businesses viewed? Complex? Routine? Profitable? Ancillary? Is it time consuming? Straightforward or requiring a lot of detail oriented analysis??

Honestly you are a little late for this discussion personally. You can start considering audit defense or the like but I’d say the calculation business is slowing down. It’s very complex, time consuming and detail oriented. Very profitable though, we have anywhere from 150% to 250% realization, sometimes even higher. Never under 💯 realization. It’s a good service line to offer but you have to know what you are doing. It’s a risky area though too so you want to factor that in.

I have 13 years of experience in a big box franchise where I’ve handled complex returns from day 1. 30% of my workload has been 1120/1120S/1065 and the rest higher-level 1040s and a few 1041s & 990s.

If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)
