  • Why Are Some Businesses Having Trouble Understanding the ERC?

    The ERC program was created in early 2020 and subsequently updated, changed, and expanded a few times over the next two years through new acts passed by Congress. As a result, many businesses have disqualified themselves under the complexity of these changes. The application process requires an ERC credit report with specific business data supplied by eligible business owners.


    Due to the changes and multiple updates, applicants must read through more than 170 pages of government documentation filled with tax and legal jargon. Sending in the wrong paperwork, or filling it in incorrectly, has created lengthy delays in receiving the credit, if at all.


    The ERC credit is refundable, meaning that companies receive it, even if it is larger than the taxes they paid. Some employers could even see a negative tax liability due to the credit. The IRS allows companies to go back three years and amend their payroll tax returns to take advantage of this credit.

The ERC has evolved over time: details of the ERC tax credit changed throughout 2020 and 2021 due to acts passed by Congress. 

MARCH 2020

  • CARES ACT

    In 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, Congress signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) into law. This legislation, becoming law on March 27, 2020, laid the groundwork to implement the ERC with its qualifications for businesses to apply. It also set the amount of credit that companies were entitled to receive. The refundable payroll tax credit was provided to encourage employers to keep as many employees on the payroll as possible during the challenging pandemic period.


    The tax credit allowed employers to receive a 50% tax credit of up to $10,000 in paid wages. The Act stipulated that businesses must meet eligibility requirements and have been impacted by COVID-19 to claim the credit.


    Even if employers received funds from the initial SBA-backed Payroll Protection Program (PPP), they could still claim the tax credit. The initial plan covered wages paid between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2020.

DECEMBER 2020

  • CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT

    The CAA, or Consolidated Appropriations Act, expanded the amount of tax credit money employers could receive and extended the credit to include wages paid before July 1, 2021. Qualified employers, including those who received PPP funds, could now claim the tax credit for up to $7,000 per employee per quarter.

MARCH 2021

  • AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT

    The American Rescue Plan Act was the next extension of federal benefits for employers and was signed into law on March 11, 2021. In addition to providing the credit for wages paid in 2020 and the first two quarters of 2021, ARPA extended the credit to cover Q3 and Q4 of 2021. The credit covers all wages paid up to December 31, 2021.


    The ARPA also added a provision for “Recovery Startup Businesses.” This term means small businesses that launched new offerings after February 15, 2020. These employers can claim up to $7,000 per employee per quarter through December 31, 2021. Recovery businesses were not included in the program termination that covered most other eligible businesses, as covered in the subsequent Infrastructure and Investment and Jobs Act.

NOVEMBER 2021

  • BUILD BACK BETTER ACT

    Congress attempted to pass the Build Back Better Act, but it was held up and eventually scaled back. Instead, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was passed and signed into law in November 2021. The IIJA retroactively terminated the ERC for most businesses after September 30, 2021.


    The Build Back Better Act was ultimately replaced by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which excluded any new expansion or extension of the ERC.
