 Absolutely! A decline in revenue is not required. It is only one of the ways to qualify.  The majority of our clients had an increase in revenue but were still negatively impacted by covid restrictions, vendor disruptions, and supply chain issues. 

YES, PPP Borrowers can Now get ERC.

ERC is a better incentive than PPP. Typically, 2-5x More Money.

Your business can now have PPP1 & PPP2 and ERC, however, special calculations are required as you cannot double-dip into the same payroll calculations. We know how to optimize your ERC amount and are known for getting clients 20-40% more ERC.  

• Most payroll companies and CPA’s do not take responsibility for their miscalculations or omissions. The liability is on the Business owner, or client (We have Professional liability insurance, which is documented in your agreement).

• No Insurance to protect you from their mistakesNo Qualification processes
  
• The Employee Retention Credit is a Government Incentive. Payroll companies and CPA’s do not specialize in government incentives or ERC Tax Codes.  For this reason, some of our clients were told they were not eligible for ERC by their CPA or Payroll companies.

• No Access to government orders 

• Wrong Calculations which then translates to a lower ERC refund for companies.

The IRS expects 70% - 80% of small and medium businesses to qualify. If your business experienced disruptions to commerce, travel, or group meetings, you could qualify! 

This includes supply chain disruptions, price increases, staffing shortages, difficulty hiring, reduced hours, reduction in goods or services offered, were unable to travel, or attending conventions. Talk to one of our Refund Specialists to find out more.

NO, It’s Like A Grant.

You do not have to repay the Employee Retention Tax Credit. This is not a loan. ERC is a reward to business owners for retaining their employees during their qualifying periods.

The ERC credit is not considered income for federal income tax purposes, but a reduction of payroll, so you must reduce any deductible wage expenses by the amount of the credit.

After receiving your ERC checks, does the IRS then only require businesses to amend their business tax returns for those respective years (2020 & 2021).  The ERC credit is not considered income for federal income tax purposes, but a reduction of payroll, so you must reduce any deductible wage expenses by the amount of the credit. We provide our clients these details after filing if they choose to do it themselves, their CPA or they can choose to have us do it for them.

ERC is a first come first serve basis. Remember how so many businesses didn’t receive PPP because the funds ran out. Therefore, all eligible employers will receive the funds when applied.

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 that owner who owns over 50%. In the case an owner has less than 50% ownership, their W2 wages qualify, as do the W2 wages paid to immediate family members. In some cases, two partners who are unrelated each own 50%, then both of their W2 wages qualify.
