Industry Information - Updates You Can Use

Did you catch the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) "enhancement" in the last COVID Relief law passed in December 2020? If not, you may be interested to know that the requirement to have not received a PPP Loan has been lifted. This means you can go back retroactively to 2Q 2020 and apply for this benefit. You likely qualify if your revenue was down quarter-over-quarter in 2020 vs. the same quarter in 2019. To apply, simply calculate and let us know the eligible wage and health insurance amounts for lines 21 and 22 on the IRS Form 941 Quarterly Payroll Tax Return. [HINT - you may want to ask your CPA for some help with this.] There is a fee for amended tax returns, but the benefit FAR outweighs the fee!

Tips and Tricks - Ways you can do more with what you already have today
