What is the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)?
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a stimulus program designed to help businesses who were able to retain their employees during the Covid-19 pandemic, receive a refundable tax credit grant.
Established by the CARES Act, the ERC is a Grant, not a Loan – that you can claim for your business. It's available to both small and mid-sized businesses based on qualified wages and benefits paid to employees.

tax credit
How much money can you get back?
You can claim up to $5000 per employee for 2020. For 2021, the credit can be up to $7000 per employee per quarter
How do you know if your business is eligible?
To qualify, your business must have been negatively impacted in either of the following ways:
A government authority required partial or full shutdown of your business during 2020 or 2021. This includes normal business operations being limited or disrupted in your business such as supply chains, inability to travel, meeting restriction, or other inabilities to continue normal business functions.
Gross receipt reduction criteria is different for 2020 and 2021, but is comparatively measured against 2019 pre-Covid quarterly amounts.
A business may be eligible for one quarter and not another
Initially, under the CARES Act of 2020, businesses were not able to qualify for the ERC if they had already received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. With new legislation in 2021, employers are now eligible for both programs. The ERC though, cannot apply to the same wages used in the PPP.
Why have a Qualified Professional Process your Claim?
The ERC program underwent several iterations of qualifying criteria changes and has many technical details, including how to determine qualified wages for each individual employee in each quarter. The program is complex and each business is uniquely different requiring intensive review and analysis.
