Maximizing Your ERTC Refundable Claims
The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) is a credit that provides tax relief for companies that lost revenue in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19. The ERTC was designed to incentivize businesses of all sizes to keep employees on their payroll during this period of economic hardship.
Part of the CARES Act enacted on March 25th, 2020:
Max of $26,000 per employee
Fully refundable tax credit against employer-paid payroll taxes
Paid directly to you from the IRS
Does not have to be paid back or allocated to certain expenses
Claimed by filing amended 941-X for qualifying quarters
Does My Business Qualify?
Common Misconceptions
We do not qualify because of my business:
Did NOT have a revenue decline
Did better during the pandemic
Did NOT shut down
Received PPP funds
I Was Told I Don’t Qualify
This is an extremely complex program. As with nearly every program created by the government, there are over 1,000 pages of guidance for the professionals that handle these filings. Many of our clients have been told by their CPA or Tax Attorney that they don't qualify. They make this decision based on the Significant Decline in qualification.
They incorrectly assume that since a company increased revenue they will not qualify. Numerous businesses are qualifying based on the Partial Shutdown rule where they evaluate the Nominal Effect and supply chain issues. Nearly every business was affected by Covid in some fashion.
