WHAT IS THE EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT?


WATCH THIS VIDEO TO LEARN MORE.



The Employee Retention Credit



COVID-19 has been a challenge for all of us. As the world shut down the economy
came to a halt, leaving the future of many businesses in a precarious position.
As we begin to find normalcy again, businesses now have to focus on recovering
and fortunately, several government programs are easing this process.




One such program is the Employee Retention Credit or ERC, which is a generous
stimulus program designed to bolster those businesses that were able to retain
their employees during this challenging time. Due to the extremely complex tax
code and qualifications, it is severely underutilized. Details of the program
include:

Up to $26,000 per employee

available for 2020 & Q1 - Q3 2021

Qualify with decreased revenue or covid event

No limit on funding (erc is not a loan)

ERC is a refundable tax credit

WHILE THE GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ERC PROGRAM SEEM SIMPLE, THE
INTERPRETATION OF EACH QUALIFICATION IS VERY COMPLEX. OUR SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE
ALLOWS US TO ENSURE WE MAXIMIZE ANY QUALIFICATIONS THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOUR
COMPANY.

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.

Gross Receipts Reduction

Gross receipt reduction criteria are different for 2020 and 2021 but are
measured against the current quarter as compared to 2019 pre-COVID amounts.

As Owner of Floor Magic it was recommended from a trade group I belong to to
apply for the Employee Retention Credit through ERC. ERC's specialists made the
application process exceedingly simple. ERC properly explained the process and
the time it would take to receive the credits if we were approved. Each month I
received an email updating me of the progress if there were any. My process took
6-1/2 months with checks from the United States Treasury. The ERC program has
given me piece of mind to maintain my full staff throughout the Covid-19
Pandemic period. Thank you 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. Since we are typically
able to recover 10-20% more than someone less familiar with the program, our fee
is very affordable. 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 qualify 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 qualifying events:




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), so we offer two payment options - you
may pay your fee upfront at a discount - or - the full fee can be deducted from
your refund once received. Upfront payments can be completed by credit card.
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 do my wages, or the wages of any family member I employ qualify?



Maybe. Wages of owners who have majority ownership, defined as over 50%, do not
qualify, nor do the W2 wages of any immediate family members of the owner. In
the case an owner has less than 50% ownership, their W2 wages qualify, as do the
W2 wages paid to immediate family members.

Can I qualify for the ERC if I'm self employed?



No, if you are majority owner (over 50%) of your company then your wages do not
qualify.

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.
