With our ERC Calculator, you can quickly see if your business qualifies to receive ERC.
The ERC is a refundable tax credit for employers introduced early in the COVID-19 pandemic to help employers keep their employees on payroll.
There are three steps to applying for the ERC.
As of April 15, 2024, businesses can no longer claim qualified wages paid during 2020.
However, qualified wages paid during 2021 can still be claimed until April 15, 2025.
The IRS has currently placed a processing moratorium on ERC claims which has caused significant delays. It may take over 8 months to receive your ERC refund at this point.
If you incorrectly claimed the ERC and received a refund, you may have to repay it with possible interest or penalties.
If your claim has not yet been processed or paid, you may be able to withdraw your claim.
The process by which you can withdraw your claim depends on whether your claim is under audit and whether you have already received your refund.
