Properly claiming the ERC
With the Internal Revenue Service making substantial progress in the ongoing effort related to the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims, Commissioner Danny Werfel said the agency has entered a new phase of increasing scrutiny on dubious submissions while renewing consumer warnings against aggressive marketing.

There are very specific eligibility requirements for claiming the ERC. These are technical areas that require review. Employers can claim the ERC on an original or amended employment tax return for qualified wages paid between March 13, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2021. However, to be eligible, employers must have:

  • Sustained a full or partial suspension of operations due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings because of COVID-19 during 2020 or the first three quarters of 2021
  • Experienced a significant decline in gross receipts during 2020 or a decline in gross receipts during the first three quarters of 2021
    Or qualified as a recovery startup business for the third or fourth quarters of 2021
