The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) is a refundable tax credit that businesses can claim for 2020 and 2021 on qualified wages paid to employees.

If your business was involved in a government-mandated shutdown, or has decreased revenue compared to quarters in 2019, you may qualify for the ERTC tax credit.

The benefits of the ERTC:

  • There is a maximum credit amount of $7,000 per quarter per employee, for a maximum of $28,000 per employee per year for 2021.
  • There is a maximum credit amount of $5,000 per employee for 2020.
  • This credit is refundable, not just a reduction on future tax payments.

Does your business qualify?

To qualify for the ETRC, an eligible employer, including all members of a control group must either:

  • Have had their operations fully or partially suspended due to orders from a governmental authority;

— OR —

  • Have suffered a decline in quarterly gross receipts measured against the same quarter in 2019.
    – For 2020: the decline is 50%
