Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ERC?

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a federal tax credit program for eligible employers that kept employees on their payroll during the qualifying periods. It is designed to support businesses that continued paying wages while their operations were disrupted, and it can meaningfully reduce a company's tax liability for the relevant year.

Who is eligible?

Eligibility depends on the specifics of your business, including its size, the wages it paid, and how its operations were affected. Rather than treating an industry as an automatic yes, we review your situation individually so the assessment reflects your actual numbers and records.

• Small and medium-sized businesses are our primary focus.
• We assess each claim on its own facts before advising on a filing.
• Commonly represented sectors include food industry, hospitality, non-profits, recreation facilities, gyms and fitness centers, preschools and daycare centers, transportation, and spas and salons.

Understanding the Employee Retention Credit starts with knowing which kinds of employers qualify. The program was created for businesses that continued paying wages during qualifying periods of widespread disruption, and eligibility generally turns on factors such as employee headcount, whether operations were fully or partially suspended, and whether revenue levels were affected. Restaurants, hotels, hospitality groups, fitness facilities, daycare and preschool operators, transportation companies, salons and spas, and recreation businesses all found themselves navigating these rules. Because the criteria differ between qualifying periods and credit phases, many owners and payroll managers find it helpful to first review the basics, then work through eligibility and documentation with a dedicated team before deciding whether to file.
