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.

Recovery Startup Business Credit

What is the RSBC?

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 5 W-2 employees (other than owners)
  • Had average annual gross receipts in 2020 that did not exceed $1 million

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) 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!

Loren Katzman
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.

Steve and his team made the process of applying for my ERC credit extremely easy and straightforward! All I had to do was provide the payroll detail and they did all the calculations so that I could see the total benefit I qualified for and then they provided the amended returns for me to submit to the IRS. Thanks so much for helping me claim this much needed benefit!

Got my ERC checks today! I was very skeptical at first because my experienced accountant told me no-can-do multiple times. But you guys did it! So glad I trusted you with the process. It was really hard to decide which ERC specialist to go with. But your team, especially Steve and Omine, were very thorough, very responsive, vey detailed-oriented, instead of the quick rush vibe I got from the others. My business took a hit this summer due to Covid, Ukraine, inflation, these ERC checks really saved the day! Very grateful from the bottom of my heart. --Myrtha
