To claim the Employee Retention Tax Credit, businesses must first determine if they are eligible. Businesses can qualify for the credit if their operations were either fully or partially suspended due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority related to COVID-19, or if they experienced a significant decline in gross receipts.
Businesses that meet the eligibility criteria can then proceed to claim the credit on Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, and Form 940, Employer’s Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return. When filing these forms, employers should include information about the ERC, including which employees are covered and what wages are being taken into account when calculating the amount of credit.
To determine ERTC Benefits and amount owed to your business, employers can simply fill out the short form on ERTCpro.com. This way, employers can ensure that all of their paperwork is correct and that they are taking full advantage of this important relief program.
. For those who are eligible, it could make a big difference in their bottom line. Businesses should take some time to review their eligibility and consider whether this option is right for them.
