HFTP Hangout: Employee Retention Credit (ERC) Covid Relief Program
Thursday, 8 December 2022
1:00 pm CST (UTC -6)
Gisela Zarco, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Macmoor Capital
The ERC (Employee Retention Credit), enacted as part of the CARES Act, provides payroll credit for eligible employers, whose businesses have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. All eligible businesses that retained 500 employees or less between March 13, 2020 and September 30, 2021, may receive up to $26,000 per employee if they were to qualify. This is not a loan and does not have to be repaid.
To learn more about the ERC program, including qualification guideline updates, reporting period updates, and much more, take the time to attend this HFTP Hangout to better understand how to recover the maximum amount of ERC credits under IRS guidelines.
