Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC): Critical Eligibility Questions
June 30th, 2021
Has your accountant mentioned the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC)? An ERC is a financial benefit from the federal government that employers receive in the form of a refundable, advanceable tax credit. Many employers will be able to claim up to $28,000 per employee. (MP’s payroll services experts have been able to help hundreds of clients claim an ERC of over $100,000 with our ERC services.) For those employers that are still unsure if their business or nonprofit organization might be eligible for an ERC, MP’s HR and payroll experts offer simple qualifying questions. Just one “yes” answer may be enough to qualify an organization for significant pandemic financial aid via an Employee Retention Credit.
