@USGAO @YourVoiceAtIRS @USGAO confirms what NAPEO has been calling out: that #ERTC claims are still being processed largely by hand, even after e-filing became available in mid-2024. Modernization isn’t optional — it’s overdue. 🔗gao.gov/products/gao-2…

@USGAO @YourVoiceAtIRS The @YourVoiceAtIRS report notes that while taxpayer service improved in 2025, businesses are still waiting on long-overdue #ERTC refunds. Service metrics may be up, but for those counting on these funds, the delays are still very real. 🔗taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/reports/2025-a…

For years, NAPEO has warned that #IRS modernization failures and #ERTC delays are hurting small and mid-sized businesses. Now @USGAO and @YourVoiceAtIRS are confirming it. This is long overdue accountability. Businesses deserve action — not excuses.

Our latest national survey showed that small and mid-sized businesses remain cautiously optimistic heading into 2026: ✔️ 78% of SMB leaders expect growth in 2026 ✔️ Businesses using PEOs report higher confidence, stronger growth and better hiring outlooks ✔️ Economic uncertainty and rising healthcare costs are now the top concerns for business leaders 🔗 Read more about the survey findings and what they mean for the SMB economy. napeo.org/press-releases…
