IRS ERC claim withdrawal fax number

Checked against irs.gov on November 11, 2026

To withdraw an unpaid Employee Retention Credit claim, fax a signed copy of the adjusted return (Form 941-X, 943-X, 944-X or CT-1X) marked “Withdrawn” to 855-738-7609. The IRS says to fax it “using your computer or mobile device”. The line only takes ERC withdrawals.

Fax numbers

Who can use the fax line

All of these must be true: you filed the adjusted return only to claim the ERC, you’re withdrawing the whole claim, the IRS hasn’t paid it, and you haven’t been told about an audit. Under audit? Send it to your examiner or as the audit notice says. Got a refund check you haven’t cashed? Mail it back, voided, as the IRS describes; don’t fax it.

How to fax it

  1. Make a copy of the adjusted return with the claim.
  2. Write “Withdrawn” in the left margin of page 1.
  3. In the right margin of page 1, an authorized person signs and dates it and writes their name and title.
  4. Send it from dimefax.com/send to 855-738-7609, and keep your copy with your tax records.

Dimefax costs 10¢ a page and you’re only charged if the fax goes through. On the web, page credits come in packs of 50 for $4.99, 100 for $9.99 or 200 for $19.99; the Dimefax iPhone app also sells 10 for $0.99. Credits you don’t use stay in your account and last as long as you fax once a year.
