It was a real pleasure working with ERC Specialists. Their team was
professional, prompt, and courteous. I received timely updates and they kept me
well informed as to the status of my application. Based on my experience with
them I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The Employee Retention Credit process was very tedious and time consuming. All
of the team at ERC were extremely helpful and made the process goes as smoothly
as possible. We knew up front what we would receive in refund credits and what
ERC's fee would be. I would highly recommend them as your source for navigating
the entire ERC process. I would not have wanted to try to do it alone. If needed
in the future I would not hesitate to use ERC again.

Used ERC recently to help get my IRS payroll tax credit for my company. It's
something that I heard on the radio and was unsure, but it took 5 minutes to see
if I qualified, which I did and then all i had to do was send my Quarterly
Payroll Reports and patiently wait. Everything they claimed I would get, I got
plus interest from the IRS. They definitely did their part. Communication was
great throughout the process. Thank you ERC.

I was nervous dealing with the IRS but ERC Specialist took every worry away.
After uploading my information to ERC they took over and within days I had my
figures completed and a few months later my checks started rolling in the
mailbox. I really do refer ERC Specialists because they are fast, efficient and
keep you updated with the progress. Thanks ERC Specialists for everything

We worked with ERC Specialists to get our share of the credits we were owed. I
had no idea about this until I spoke with them. They made the entire process
extremely easy. All we did was send them the paperwork they requested and they
handled it from there. We received so much money back that I was able to give
all my employees bonuses. Big thanks to ERC Specialists!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I have to repay the ERC Credit?
No. This is not a loan. It's a refundable tax credit. When we file your ERC
claim we request a refund check for you.
How much do you charge?
Our service charge is based on a percentage of the credit recovered. We
calculate and provide our fee with our free analysis. Just like a good CPA,
using the right team for this process pays for itself.
Can't I just have my CPA file? Why would I use ERC Specialists?
Of course. The challenge is the ERC credit is taken on your payroll returns and
not through your business income tax returns, which is what most CPA's handle.
Because of this most CPA's don't process this credit, unless they process your
payroll in house. This is also a big reason why this credit is so underutilized.
Since CPA's don't typically handle it and they are the tax experts, it has
mostly fallen in a middle ground where few are able to effectively process the
credit. Interestingly, we receive a large portion of our clients from CPA's.

At ERC Specialists we have decades of payroll experience, which has allowed us
to specifically focus to understanding and maximizing the ERC program. In our
experience we have found that due to the complexity (the ERC tax code is over
200 pages) and time investment necessary to understand the ERC program, very few
are able to effectively maximize this sizeable credit for your business.
Can I get ERC Funds if I already took the PPP?
Yes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted
December 27, 2020, modified the ERC credit rules. One of the modifications
included allowing a company to have a PPP loan and still take advantage of the
ERC credit. However, you can't use the same dollar for dollar funds. We take
this into account when processing your ERC credit.
My revenue went up in 2020, can I still be eligible for the ERC program?
Yes! There are two possible qualifications for 2020: revenue reduction, or a
"full or partial shutdown of your business due to COVID-19". Specifically the
IRS describes this as "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."
Below are several examples of events indicating eligibility:

Example 1: A restaurant must close or limit its on-site dining. Such as having
to close down every other table, due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Example 2: A business that needs to meet with clients in person and has to
cancel meetings due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Example 3: A business has to reduce their operating hours because COVID-19
restrictions and cleaning requirements.

Example 4: A business had delayed production timelines caused by supply chain
disruptions.

Example 5: A business with a planned event has to cancel that event, or restrict
the amount of people who can attend due to COVID-19 restrictions.
I'm a CPA or a payroll company, can I refer my clients to ERC Specialists?
Yes. We also offer a referral/affiliate program. To learn more contact us.
Will the ERC funds run out?
This is not a lending program - tax refunds are issued by the US Treasury.
Therefore, all eligible employers will receive the funds.
How will I make payment?
We understand your refund check may not arrive for several months (20 weeks
minimum according to IRS documentation). Regardless, our fee is covered by our
100% Money Back Guarantee. If the IRS does not release the credit claimed for
any reason, we will refund any payments made.
I'm getting more in ERC Credit than I paid in taxes?
Remember that this program is taken according to payroll taxes paid, not on
income taxes. ERC funds not applied towards owed payroll taxes are treated as an
'overdeposit' of taxes that will be requested as a refund check from the IRS.
As an owner are my wages, or the wages of any family member I employ, eligible?
Maybe. Wages of owners who have majority ownership, defined as over 50%, are not
eligible, nor are the W2 wages of any immediate family members of the owner. In
the case an owner has less than 50% ownership, their W2 wages are eligible, as
are the W2 wages paid to immediate family members.
Can I be eligible for the ERC if I'm self employed?
No, if you are majority owner (over 50%) of your company then your wages are not
eligible.
How long does it take to get my ERC Credit?
This is how the process works: you send us the required documents and we process
an analysis at no charge. The process from start to finish usually happens in
2-3 weeks. If you wish to move forward, you will select your desired payment
option and we file your claim. Once filed, refunds are released based on IRS
backlog. Currently, the IRS has stipulated a 20 week minimum turnaround on the
ERC refunds.
Is the ERC Credit taxable?
The ERC credit is not considered income for federal income tax purposes, but you
must reduce any deductible wage expenses by the amount of the credit. Please
provide the credit information to your CPA for tax purposes.
Do I need to file the ERC credits received on my tax returns?
Yes, the ERC funds will need to be reported on your income tax return. For more
information, please refer to this documentation.
