These FAQs do not reflect the changes made by the Taxpayer Certainty and
Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (Relief Act), enacted December 27, 2020, the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP Act), enacted March 11, 2021, or the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Infrastructure Act), enacted November
15, 2021. The Relief Act amended and extended the employee retention credit (and
the availability of certain advance payments of the tax credits) under section
2301 of the CARES Act for the first and second calendar quarters of 2021. The
ARP Act modified and extended the employee retention credit for the third and
fourth quarters of 2021. The Infrastructure Act terminated the employee
retention credit for wages paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 for employers that
are not recovery startup businesses.

The Employee Retention Credit under the CARES Act encourages businesses to keep
employees on their payroll. The refundable tax credit is 50% of up to $10,000 in
wages paid by an eligible employer whose business has been financially impacted
by COVID-19.
