Small business owners, did you know that the federal Employee Retention Credit (ERC) can provide up to $33,000 per employee in tax credits over 2020 and 2021? The National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) created a guide to help businesses receive the tax credit ASAP.

To qualify for the ERC in a given 2020 quarter, a business must have experienced either:

  • At least a 50 percent decline in gross receipts in a given quarter compared to the same quarter in 2019.
  • A full or partial suspension of business operations due to a government order.

To qualify for the ERC in a given 2021 quarter, a business must have experienced either:

  • At least a 20 percent decline in gross receipts in either:
    • A given quarter compared to the same quarter in 2019;
    • The immediately preceding quarter.
  • A full or partial suspension of business operations due to a government order.

A business can also qualify as a Severely Financially Distressed Employer, meaning the employer:

  • Suffered at least a 90 percent decline in gross receipts in a specific quarter compared to the same quarter in 2019.

A Severely Financially Distressed Employer can include all wages paid during the qualifying quarter for purposes of the ERC.

The maximum credit payout for 2021 is $7,000 per quarter, per employee, $28,000 total for the year. 70 percent of qualifying wages with a maximum qualifying wage amount of $10,000 per employee.

For small businesses still facing hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic,  Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) are still available throughout the year with a December 31, 2021 deadline. the loan limit for the EIDL program was raised in April from 6-months of economic injury with a maximum loan amount of $150,000 to up to 24-months of economic injury with a maximum loan amount of $500,000.
