How to Claim Employee Retention Tax Credit during tax season 2023?

Since Employee RetentionEmployee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) Tax Credit (ERTC) was for the pandemic period, business entities can no longer claim their Employee Retention Tax Credit for wages paid in 2022. Still, they have until 2024 (and, in certain instances, 2025) for employees’ wages that they paid in 2020-21 (up to December 2021) but forgot to claim the ERTC for those wage payments.

You should amend their tax return for 2020 or 2021 and submit by filing Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return.

The credit can be taken against the employer’s share of Social Security tax liability. If the amount of the credit exceeds the employer’s Social Security tax liability, the excess can be refunded to the employer.If the employment tax deposits are insufficient to fund the credit, the eligible employer can file Form 7200 instead, requesting advance payments. Employers receiving an employee Retention Credit are not allowed to deduct the portion of the wages paid equal to the credit. 

Who qualifies for Employee Retention Tax Credit?

To be eligible for the ERTC, businesses must meet one of two criteria. First, they must have experienced a significant decline in gross receipts, defined as a decline of more than 20% for a calendar quarter compared to the same quarter in the previous year. Second, a government order must have fully or partially suspended the business due to COVID-19.

How much is the ERTC tax credit?

The ERTC is a refundable tax credit equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees between March 12, 2020, and December 31, 2021. The maximum credit per employee is $7,000 per quarter or $28,000. Businesses can receive up to $5,000 in tax credits per employee if they meet the eligibility requirements.

When does the ETCR expire?

The deadline for claiming the ERTC has been extended several times, and as of February 2023, the last date to claim the ERTC is December 31, 2022. However, it’s important to note that businesses can only claim the credit for wages paid up to December 31, 2021.If you have not claimed ETCR for wages paid up to 31st December 2021 till now, you can claim it now.
