Concept HR has partnered with Whirks to assess eligibility and administer the Employee Retention Tax Credits for eligible employers in both 2020 & 2021. You could have tax credits back as early as your next payroll process!
First off... what is the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC)?
The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) is a newly expanded refundable tax credit given to employers who are keeping their employees on payroll despite COVID-19 related challenges and losses. New legislation was passed in late December 2020 that made many businesses eligible for the credit for all quarters of 2021, who were not previously eligible in 2020.
The credit is equal to 70% of your employee’s wages that you pay out from January 1 through December 31st, 2021. Qualified wages are limited to $10,000 per employee per calendar quarter. The maximum ERTC amount available is $7,000 per employee per quarter for a total of $28,000 in refundable tax credits for 2021 and potentially up to $5,000 per employee for 2020.
