DON'T LET MISCONCEPTIONS HOLD YOU BACK
FROM CLAIMING YOUR ERTC CREDIT.

THE ERTC TAX INCENTIVE IS HEAVILY UNDERUTILIZED DUE TO MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT
ELIGIBILITY.

IF ONE OF THE OBJECTIONS BELOW IS HOLDING YOU BACK FROM APPLYING, WE STILL WANT
TO HEAR FROM YOU!

DON'T MISS OUT! YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS IN
FUNDING FOR YOUR BUSINESS. WE'RE THE EXPERTS IN THAT, SO LET US HELP YOU GET
THERE.

“OUR REVENUE DIDN'T GO DOWN.”

Revenue is just one of many factors that determine whether you qualify for ERTC.
In fact, companies without a considerable revenue decline and even increases in
revenue can still qualify for the employee retention tax credit.

“OUR BUSINESS IS NOT ESSENTIAL.”

Your business does not have to be deemed “essential” to qualify for employee
retention tax credit. If you own a small business, any small business, it's
worth applying with us.

“WE HAVE RECEIVED A PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN BEFORE.”

That's great! AND…Companies that have received one or both PPP fundings are
STILL eligible for the employee retention tax credit. We know how to file to get
you the funding you deserve.

“WE NEVER SHUT DOWN OUR BUSINESS.”

The ERTC tax incentive has several provisions that make it possible for
employers who were not forced to completely shut down their business to STILL
qualify for the ERTC. Businesses that were forced to partially shut down their
business can make a claim. Additionally, businesses without a government mandate
to shut down or partially shut down their business can still qualify through
revenue decline. It's a complicated process, but we can help you find out if you
qualify if you're still unsure.

“OUR REVENUE WENT UP AFTER A SHIFT IN THE MARKET.”

Congrats! Although your revenue may have increased overall for the year, many
companies experienced declines in one or more quarters in 2021 when compared to
2019. These short-term revenue declines allow you to qualify, even with
increased annual revenues.

“MY BUSINESS IS TOO NEW.”

No such thing. Startups & new businesses are NOT left behind. As a measure to
make the ERTC more inclusive, the ERTC program eligibility criteria were
expanded to accommodate new businesses established after February 15th, 2020
with gross yearly revenue below $1 million. Meeting these criteria will enable
Startups to qualify for up to $7,000 per employee, to a maximum rebate of
$50,000 in Quarter 3 of 2021, and Quarter 4 of 2021.

“IT'S TOO LATE TO APPLY FOR THE ERTC.”

You still have time! If eligible, employers can claim the ERTC for qualified
wages paid in Q1, Q2, and Q3 of 2021.

Get your estimate now

STARTUPS & NEW BUSINESSES ARE NOT LEFT BEHIND.

AS A MEASURE TO MAKE THE ERTC MORE INCLUSIVE, THE ERTC PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA WERE EXPANDED TO ACCOMMODATE STARTUPS:

STARTUPS ESTABLISHED AFTER FEBRUARY 15TH, 2020

GROSS YEARLY REVENUE CANNOT EXCEED $1 MILLION

MEETING THESE CRITERIA WILL ENABLE STARTUPS TO QUALIFY FOR UP TO $7,000 PER
EMPLOYEE TO A MAXIMUM REBATE OF $50,000, IN QUARTER 3 2021, AND QUARTER 4 OF
2021.

GOT QUESTIONS?

WE'VE GOT ANSWERS. TAKE A LOOK AT THE ANSWERS TO THE OUR MOST FREQUENTLY
RECEIVED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ERTC PROGRAM.

WHAT IS THE EMPLOYEE RETENTION TAX CREDIT (ERTC) AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM
THE PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM (PPP)?



When the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) was
signed into law on March 27, 2020, it included two programs to assist businesses
with keeping workers employed: 1) the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) and 2)
the lesser-known Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC).

Here are the differences:

 * PPP was administered by the Small Business Administration. ERTC was
   administered by the Internal Revenue Service.
 * PPP funds are based on 2.5 months of payroll. A minimum of 80% of the funds
   must be used on payroll to be eligible for forgiveness. PPP funds are not
   taxable as revenue and you may still take deductions for the payroll covered
   by PPP.
 * ERTC funds are credits (or refunds) for a percentage of payroll in each
   quarter for which you qualify. There are very specific rules for determining
   eligibility by quarter, and the dollars that can be claimed for each employee
   are limited.

Get your estimate now

IF I RECEIVED PPP CAN I ALSO GET ERTC?



The short answer is YES!

Here's why: When the CARES Act was originally signed into law on March 27, 2020,
employers could choose PPP funds or ERTC credits, but not both. At the time, PPP
was more beneficial than ERTC for most businesses, so most businesses with under
500 employees elected to receive the forgivable PPP Loans.

But the rules changed on March 11, 2021 when The American Rescue Plan Act of
2021 was signed into law and included many modifications and expansions to
existing elements of previous stimulus programs. (Most people - including CPA's
- aren't aware of this update.)

These changes included:

 * Businesses who applied for and received PPP funds can now also claim ERTC
   credits.
 * ERTC credits were extended through 9/30/21 with lower qualification
   requirements.
 * The per-employee cap on qualifying wages increased to $10,000 per quarter for
   the first 3 quarters of 2021.
 * The refundable credit amount increased to 70% in 2021.

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS TO RECEIVE ERTC TAX CREDITS?



Unlike the Payroll Protection Program (PPP), there is no “application process”
for the Employee Retention Tax Credits. But there is a process - and you must be
compliant.

We are seeing a lot of “pop-up” ERTC companies comparing ERTC to a child tax
credit in that they are telling their clients they can claim simply by asserting
(or attesting) to the IRS that they can legally claim the credit.

The act of you “attesting” that you are eligible, does not make you eligible! We
HIGHLY recommend against this practice. If someone approaches you and asks you
to “attest” you are eligible - run, not walk, the other way!

As we mentioned before, ERTC can be a very complex process. We believe it is in
your best interest to work with a company who 1) specializes in ERTC, and 2) has
your best long-term interest at heart by triple-checking every component of your
ERTC filing by our 3 CPA teams to assure accuracy, compliance, and true
eligibility.

Get your estimate now

IF MY Q1 2021 REVENUE WAS BACK TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS - AM I STILL ELIGIBLE FOR
ERTC?



You may be eligible. While your revenue may be back to normal, there are
additional considerations:

While your revenue may have returned to pre-pandemic levels in Q1 2021, remember
that we are comparing your Q1 2021 to Q1 2019. If 2019 was a year of growth for
your business, then your revenue levels 2 years ago may have been much less than
Q1 2020.

And lastly, if your revenues were down in Q4 2020 by just 20% compared to Q4
2019, then you may also be eligible for Q1 2021. There is a safe harbor
provision that few advisors are talking about, and it means that many businesses
are qualifying for $7,000 per employee in Q1 2021.

And beyond revenue, our CPA team will work with you to help identify the
government mandates that had a more than nominal impact on your business.

Qualifying for the ERTC program is about much more than simply revenue losses!

DO DEFERRED PAYROLL TAXES HAVE TO BE REPAID WITH ERTC?



You are most likely referring to a provision of the CARES Act that allowed
employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer's share of Social
Security taxes. Those deferrals must then be repaid – with at least 50% of the
balance due by 12/31/21 and the remaining balance due by 12/31/22.

ERTC credits are NOT a deferral. They are dollar-for-dollar credits against
wages you've paid. Not taxes you've paid, but actual wages. This is an important
distinction that people often misunderstand. These credits can offset future tax
contributions or you can receive a refund check – it's your choice. As you would
imagine, most people choose to receive a check.

But no. You will NOT have to repay these funds (unless, of course, you don't
provide adequate documentation to support your eligibility). That's where our
team of CPAs can help, by focusing on understanding the specific laws and
regulations around this program, and in assuring every point in the process is
100% compliant.

WHY ISN'T MY BANK (OR MY CPA) TELLING ME ABOUT THIS?



Your banker, CPA, or Financial Advisor are very familiar with working with the
SBA. This is part of why they were very helpful in helping with your PPP funds.
Plus, and you may not know this, but the SBA paid the bank administrative fees
based on the PPP loans they made, and in this way they were incentivized to
educate you about the program and get all your paperwork in order.

The PPP program was also a rather simple calculation. 2 ½ times your average
monthly payroll including health insurance and state unemployment taxes. Done.

Contrast that with the complexities of the ERTC program administered by the
Internal Revenue Service. From the conversations we've had with bankers, they
have no interest in involving themselves in your employment tax compliance. For
them, not only is it beyond their scope of services, it is a liability.

Plus, if your CPA did know about the program and advised that you were
ineligible, it is likely because they were looking at it from a revenue
perspective versus limited commerce. These are very important distinctions to
keep in mind, because the difference in our ability to handle these complex
cases has resulted in many thousands of dollars for clients whose CPA told them
they were ineligible.

Get your estimate now

SHOULDN'T MY PAYROLL PROVIDER ALREADY BE ON TOP OF THIS?



Computing your ERTC credits requires visibility into your P&L and PPP
forgiveness applications. These aren't documents your payroll service provider
will have access to.

Not only that, but the complex requirements around eligibility, compliance, and
allocating ERTC credits at the employee-level while accounting for annual and
quarterly qualifying wage gaps is far outside the scope of a payroll service
provider.

Now, we have worked with some payroll service providers and the ones we've
worked with so far are happy to provide the payroll registers that we need and
they are usually happy to file the Amended Form 941-Xwith the IRS on our
client's behalf. But that's it.

Most wise Payroll Services are even asking clients to sign an indemnification
waiver before submitting a Form 941-X because they cannot take responsibility
for the accuracy of the ERTC credits you are claiming - it is a liability and
beyond their scope of services.

SINCE MY CPA HANDLES MY INCOME TAX RETURNS, CAN THEY HELP WITH ERTC?



Your tax accountant is a CPA or EA, and he or she likely only prepares your
Federal and State Income Tax Returns. Some accountants also provide bookkeeping
services, and others payroll.

We have seen that the vast majority of CPAs and Accountants do not handle
Employee Retention Tax Credit work because of the complex and tedious process to
accurately calculate. In October 2022, we taught a session at the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Some of the feedback we
received from other CPAs was – “their main focus is on staying up-to-date on the
ever-evolving income tax code, and they can't now become experts in the ERTC
program as well.”

The ERTC credits are claimed against Employment Taxes on Form 941, and this is
outside the scope of knowledge of most CPA's or EA's..

The reason most people believe they do not qualify is because the complexity of
the ERTC program is a multi-faceted complex animal. If your tax accountant is
comfortable determining your eligibility by quarter and year, computing your
credits, and preparing the complex documentation to support an IRS audit, then
you should certainly let them handle all of this.

If you want a second set of eyes from someone who specializes in complex ERTC
filings, we're happy to help.

Get your estimate now

WHY CAN'T MY BOOKKEEPER HANDLE MY ERTC CLAIMS?



Your Bookkeeper should definitely have access to all the information necessary
for an accurate calculation. They will have your financial reports, payroll
registers, and PPP loan forgiveness documents (if applicable).

The BIG QUESTION is . . . do they have the time? And will it be compliant?

 * Do they have the time to dig into the text of the American Rescue Plan Act of
   2021?
 * Do they have the time to dig into the referenced laws like: CARES Act,
   Families First Act, Payroll & Healthcare Enhancement Act, PPP Payroll
   Flexibility Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act?
 * Do they have the time to read the IRS Interpretations and FAQ's? And
   cross-reference those definitions with that of PPP which was separately
   defined and dissimilarly interpreted in the Small Business Administration's
   Bulletins and IFRs?
 * Do they have the time to ensure accuracy in eligibility determination,
   maximize your computation and create the supporting documentation you'll need
   to support an IRS audit of employer taxes?

So far, we haven't found a single bookkeeper who can take all this on, while
also handling the day-to-day of bookkeeping. If yours can, then take them up on
their offer.

But, if you want to assure maximum eligibility and (more importantly)
compliance, we're happy to take a second look.
