Don't leave money on the table! Schedule a consultation with an ERTC expert to find out how you can take advantage of this unique opportunity! [![Get Started](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3220219/5b8ad750-0060-4240-892c-4999390be130.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3220219/5b8ad750-0060-4240-892c-4999390be130) ## What is the Employee Retention Tax Credit?  The ERTC was first introduced as part of the CARES Act and included tax credits to help businesses with employee retention during the COVID-19 outbreak. The  ERTC is a refundable tax credit that can be claimed when eligible employers report their total qualified wages for purposes of the  ERTC for each annual quarter on their federal employment tax returns. **Update: New legislation now allows employers to RETROACTIVELY obtain both a PPP loan AND claim the ERTC.**  |   | **Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act** **(CARES - 3/27/20)** | **Consolidated  Appropriations Act** **(CAA - 12/27/20)** | **American Rescue Plan Act** **(ARPA - 3/11/21)** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **PPP vs. ERTC** | PPP or ERTC, not both; CAA Amended to **Both**** **(no double-dip) | **Both **(no double-dip) | **Both **(no double-dip) | | **Company Size** | 100 or fewer employees | 500 or fewer employees | 500 or fewer employees | | **Who Qualifies** | Govt' disruption; or Reduction in gross receipts >50% same period 2019 | Govt' disruption; or Reduction in gross receipts >20% same period 2019 | Govt' disruption; or Reduction in gross receipts >20% same period 2019 | | **Credits Available** | 50% of $10k wages/emp after March 12th, 2020 | 70% of $10k wages/emp/qtr Jan 1st through June 30th, 2021 | 70% of $10k wages/emp/qtr Jul 1st through Dec 31st, 2021 | ## How Much ERTC Stimulus Can You Receive? ### 2020 Retroactive Credits The 2020 CARES Act authorized an employee retention credit of **50% of $10,000/employee** in eligible wages for qualifying businesses or **$5,000 tax credit per employee**. At first, businesses had to choose between PPP loans or ERTC credits - they could not obtain both. This changed on December 27, 2020, when the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) was signed into law. The CAA expanded the  ERTC so that businesses who had received PPP loans could now retroactively also obtain employee retention tax credits, with the caveat being that they could not apply for ERTC with payrolls paid with PPP funds (no double-dipping). ### 2021 Credits The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) not only expanded the ERTC to businesses who had procured a PPP loan, it also extended it into Q1 and Q2 of 2021, and included greater benefits and new eligibility requirements. Then, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021 and extended ERTC through the end of the 2021 calendar year. The 2021 credits total **70% of wages up to $10,000 per employee per quarter**. The result is a credit of up to **$7,000 per employee for up to four quarters in 2021 totaling $28,000**. --- ## How Can Inflection HR Help?
