      About The ERC

      • The employee retention credit is a payroll tax credit for businesses with W-2 employees who saw a decrease in revenue or a government mandate that prevented operations, either in hours or service capacity.
      • Businesses can earn up to $21,000 per W-2 employee in 2021, and $5,000 per W-2 employee in 2022 — for a total of up to $26,000 per employee.
      • To apply for the ERC, businesses must submit an amended tax return for each quarter of 2020 and 2021.
      •  The deadline for refiling for your 2020 quarters is April 2024; the deadline for the 2021 quarters is April 2025.
