What is the Employee Retention Tax Credit Program?

The employee retention tax credit (ERC) was introduced by the CARES Act 2020 to encourage employers to keep employees on payroll through the pandemic.

ERC is a refundable tax credit that businesses including those that took a loan under PPP, can claim on qualified wages paid to employees during 2020 and 2021.

For 2020, ERC provided eligible employers a refundable tax credit of up to $5,000 per employee for qualified wages paid between 3/12/20 to 12/31/20.

Scope of the bill was dramatically expanded for 2021 which increased the refundable tax credit to $7,000 per employee, per quarter for qualified wages paid during the first 3 quarters ending on Sep 30, 2021. That’s potentially up to $21,000 per employee for 2021.
