Determining the proper amount of a refund is a complex accounting process. Although these are payroll tax credits, what you’ve paid in payroll tax has no bearing on your ERC calculations. The refunds are based on many factors including qualifying quarters, number of employees, hours worked, wages paid and if applicable, PPP loans, group health premiums and participation in other government programs to name a few.
As of 2022, ERC Straightline processing times for receiving your business’s refund check from the US Treasury is on average 4.5 months.

Absolutely! Both Essential and Non-essential businesses alike can qualify, and a decline in revenue is not required. Many of our clients even had increases in sales, but still experienced disruptions or were negatively impacted.
Unlike PPP, this is not a loan. It’s money for your business, and it’s up to you how you use it.
Time is of the essence as the program has technically expired. The time to claim the refund is running out. Don’t delay!
The IRS expects 70-80% of SMBs are good candidates for taking the ERC. If your business experienced disruptions to commerce, travel, or group meetings due to a government order, it might qualify! This includes supply chain disruptions, price increases, reduced hours, reduction in goods or services offered, were unable to travel, or attend conventions.

ERC is a refundable payroll tax credit. Born out of the same CARES Act as PPP, its aim is to provide economic relief for small and medium businesses who retained employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, eligible employers could only take either PPP, or ERC. In 2021, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, Congress amended this provision, allowing businesses to apply for both.
PPP was a forgivable loan. ERC returns the payroll taxes that your business has already paid. Once your business receives the ERC funds from the US Treasury, no further action is required on your part.
PPP was heavily marketed by the SBA, while ERC is claimed directly through the US Treasury. Along with our bank partners, it’s our mission to educate you and obtain for your business the payroll tax refund that it’s entitled to.
