The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ETRC) can be a valuable incentive for struggling businesses, but it can be challenging to apply for the credit and receive its full benefit. The eligibility rules are complicated and confusing, causing many potentially qualified business owners to shy away from navigating the process. Recent IRS guidance cleared up a number of ERTC questions that were largely resolved in favor of employers. If you don’t want to leave money on the table, it’s important to understand this tax credit’s hidden-in-the-details rules to maximize your benefit.
Our webinar will focus on the specificities of the ERTC and will emphasize planning opportunities that result from IRS Notice 2021-49, so you can determine if your business qualifies to receive its maximum benefits.
