Employee Retention Tax Credit

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) program is a refundable tax credit program designed to reward business owners for retaining employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. If your business was affected by the pandemic and you kept paying your employees throughout the pandemic, you may qualify for the Employee Retention Tax Credit program under the CARES Act. Business owners impacted by COVID-19 can claim refundable tax credits worth up to $26,000 per W2 employee in your business during the pandemic. 

How Do ERC Funds Work?

Even though the ERC is a “tax credit”, the IRS is distributing Employee Retention Credits as a direct payment to your business. ERC is NOT a loan so ERC funds do not need to be repaid. ERC is a permanent refund for you to keep. There are no stipulations on how a business may use ERC funds once received from the IRS.

Can I claim ERC even if I received PPP loans?

Yes! Your business can claim ERC even if you received PPP funds. Your business may receive both the ERC and PPP funds. You just cannot “double dip” using PPP funds in the ERC Calculation. All PPP funds that a business received and applied to payroll expenses must be properly accounted for when calculating qualification amounts under the ERC. Let our tax lawyers analyze the maximum amount you qualify for each quarter.

How Does My Business Qualify for the Employee Retention Credit?

Eligibility is determined by each quarter. Businesses can claim up to $5,000 for each employee in 2020 and up to $7,000 per quarter for each employee in the first three quarters in 2021. That’s a total of up to $26,000 per W2 employee in your business during the pandemic. Let our experienced tax lawyers do the complex analysis to determine the maximum amount you may qualify for each quarter and help your business maximize your ERC refund.

There are two tests used to determine eligibility for ERC funds. Your business may qualify for ERC funds by showing EITHER:

  • Government mandates and COVID-19 restrictions had more than a nominal impact on your business; OR
  • Your business experienced a significant decline in gross revenues.
