SUMMARY:Educational Presentation - Employee Retention Credit (ERC)
DESCRIPTION:Employee Retention Credit (ERC)\n \n\nA program where the government refunds a portion of FICA payroll taxes to businesses affected by COVID-19\, paying up to $14\,000 per employee for tax years 2020 and 2021. The benchmark used is based on tax year 2019 for comparison. It is not a loan\, it is a rebate that is tax free. Although it is a separate program\, if you previously qualified for the PPP loan there is a high probability that you will qualify for the ERC program. Both for profit and non-profit businesses can qualify. This is part of the Care's Act that was enacted in 2020. Let's invest 20 minutes of your time to see if you can receive thousands of dollars from this governmental program.\n\n \n\nThree ways to qualify for the ERC:\n\n\n	From a revenue standpoint\n	Supply chain standpoint / disruption\n	Government shutdown\, slow down\, and/or operational changes\n\nProcess:\n\n\n	Schedule a 20 minute phone conversation with an ERC Specialist to determine if you qualify.
