What is ERC?

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) was enacted by the CARES Act in March 2020 as an incentive to employers to keep their labor force intact during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the new American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) expanded eligibility and extended the credit, now worth as much as $26,000 per employee.

What was previously an attractive incentive has become a “can’t miss” opportunity for additional cash flow to eligible businesses. Millions more US-based businesses stand to benefit from these changes to the ERC, but that doesn’t make them any less complex.

At ERC Benefits, we are here to help. Our dedicated ERC advisors are well-versed in the nuances of the new rules and can help you maximize your ERC.

What is RSB?

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is also available to businesses that opened after February 15, 2020. These businesses are considered Recovery Startup Businesses (RSB), and they can claim up to $100,000 for Q3 and Q4 of 2021!

RSB qualification is simple and easy:

  • Open on or after February 15, 2020
  • Had at least 3 W-2 employees (other than owners)
  • Had average annual gross receipts in 2020 that did not exceed $1 million

Paycheck Protection Program recipients are now eligible for ERC

The ERC was not widely used until March 2021, when updated IRS regulations made this type of COVID-19 Relief more accessible. In short: thousands of businesses who once picked between the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and ERC can now probably use both stimulus programs, by amending their quarterly Form(s) 941 payroll returns. 

ERC Details

So how much money is your business actually eligible for?

  • The 2020 ERC Program is a refundable tax credit of 50% of up to $10,000 in wages paid per employee from 3/12/20-12/31/20 by an eligible employer. THAT’S $5,000 PER EMPLOYEE!
  • The 2021 ERC Program has increased to 70% of up to $10,000 in wages paid per employee per quarter for the first three quarters. THAT’S POTENTIALLY UP TO $26,000 PER EMPLOYEE!

They effectively managed the entire process for us and allowed us to maximize our credits back from the IRS. The substantial relief money is greatly appreciated and a pleasant surprise.

I was somewhat skeptical and very surprised when our CPA had never mentioned ERC to us. After researching and discussing it with my accountant and partner, it was obvious that the ERC program could represent a significant benefit to our business. The process was painless, and within a week of providing ERC with all of our documentation, we were told that our business qualified for a significant credit. I plan on continuing to refer ERC Benefits to my friends and business contacts.
