Enacted through the CARES Act, this program offers a refundable tax credit that can be utilized by your business. The ERTC extends its benefits to both small and medium-sized enterprises and is calculated based on the qualified wages and healthcare expenses incurred for employees.

- Available for 2020 and 3 quarters of 2021
- Qualify with decreased revenue or a business impact
- No limit on funding
- ERTC is a refundable tax credit
How much money can your business get back?
How do you know if your business is eligible?
To be eligible, your business must have been adversely affected in one of the following ways:
- Your business faced either a partial or full shutdown mandated by a government authority during 2020 or 2021. This includes restrictions on operations due to commerce limitations, travel constraints, or limitations on group gatherings.
- Gross receipt reduction criteria varies for 2020 and 2021, but it is determined by comparing the current quarter’s revenue to the pre-COVID levels of 2019.
- It’s worth noting that a business can qualify for the credit in one quarter but not in another.
Initially, under the CARES Act of 2020, businesses were ineligible for the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) if they had previously received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. However, with new legislation enacted in 2021, employers can now qualify for both programs concurrently.
