What Is The Employee Retention Credit & What Are The Benefits

ERC is a refundable payroll tax credit authorized by the CARES Act that provides financial relief to eligible employers that were affected by COVID-19. Although many businesses from a variety of sectors are eligible, it’s important to note that not every business impacted by the pandemic qualifies for ERC. Factors like industry, state, and other circumstances can play a part in determining eligibility. However, if your business is eligible, program benefits include...

  • The program is open to many types of businesses with few industry restrictions
  • If your business was adversely affected by the pandemic, you may be eligible
  • You could receive a refundable payroll tax credit of up to $26,000 per employee
  • Funds available through the ERC program DO NOT need to be paid back
  • You may be eligible even if you received a PPP loan(s)
  • The qualification process is free and there are no up-front costs
