IRS Info on the Employee Retention Credit

Get Paid Back for Keeping Employees on the Payroll

Did you know that in 2021 there are bigger and better tax incentives for small businesses affected by COVID-related shutdowns and disruptions? The Biden-Harris Administration has made these benefits available NOW – these credits can hit your bottom line cash flow as soon as your next quarterly filing and are available for all four quarters of 2021.

These credits may deliver cash flow for your business as soon as you claim them. You can file for this credit for every quarter of 2021 on your form 941 filing and may also receive an advance payment of a portion of the credit.

If your business:

• Has 500 or fewer employees;
• Was at least partly closed due to a government order OR the business’s revenue declined by 20% or more for any quarter this year; AND
• You kept employees on the payroll:

You may be eligible for 2021 employee retention tax credits of up to $28,000 per employee. And the longer you keep your employees on payroll, the more benefits you are eligible to receive.
