How do you know the ERC Program is Real?

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) under the CARES Act and related guidance encouraged businesses to keep employees on their payroll during 2020 and 2021.  There were good people running all sorts of businesses who were “more than nominally impacted” by government orders, supply chain disruptions, travel bans, distancing requirements, and more.  Congress understood this.  This is why they passed legislation to refund payroll taxes paid back to employers.  Put simply, if a US business suffered through any of the above during 2020 and/or 2021, IRS will send that business owner a check for up to $26,000 per employee.

    • Yes, a check mailed to you by the IRS

    • No intangible ‘credits’ for tax accountants to drool over
    • No strings attached. The cash can be used for any purpose
    • Yes, employers can claim the refund today for employees that were on payroll so long ago
