What is ERC? 

Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a government stimulus program created to support businesses that were able to retain their employees during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Established by the CARES Act, ERC is a refundable tax credit – that you can claim for your business. This program is available to small and mid-sized businesses and is based on qualified wages and healthcare paid to employees.

How much money can you get back?

You can claim up to $5,000 per employee for 2020. For 2021, the credit can be up to $7,000 per employee per quarter.
