ERC program overview
What is the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)?
The ERC is a refundable tax credit established by the CARES Act to help businesses that were able to retain their employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. Here are some key points:
- Available for both small and mid-sized businesses
- Based on qualified wages and healthcare paid to employees
- Provides up to $26,000 per employee
- No limit on funding
- Available for 2020 and the first 3 quarters of 2021
How much money can you get back?
You can claim up to:
- $5,000 per employee for 2020
- $7,000 per employee per quarter for 2021
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 your operations being limited by commerce, inability to travel, or restrictions of group meetings
- Gross receipt reduction criteria is different for 2020 and 2021, but is measured against the current quarter as compared to 2019 pre-COVID amounts
Other important points to note:
- A business can be eligible for one quarter and not another
- With new legislation in 2021, employers are now eligible for both the ERC and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
- The ERC cannot apply to the same wages as the ones for PPP
