Reporting ERC on Tax Returns Form 941-X: To claim the ERC, you generally need to file an amended federal employment tax return. This is done using Form 941-X for each applicable quarter. This form reports wages and health insurance costs related to the ERC.
Going forward, the only way to apply for the ERC is to file an amended Form 941X (Quarterly Federal Payroll Tax Return) for the quarters during which the company was an eligible employer.
Because the ERC is considered an income-related grant under IAS 20, an entity may elect to present the income in one of two ways: (1) gross as a grant or other income item, or (2) net as a deduction from the expense category in which the reporting entity reports employment taxes (typically employee compensation).
The statute of limitations (SOL) on amending payroll tax returns (Form 941-X) for 2021 ends on April 15, 2025, and the ERC ends on the same date.
It provides a safety net for unexpected expenses and ensures the project stays on track, both in terms of budget and timeline. The recommended percentage for a contingency fund is between 5-10% of the total budget, but this may vary depending on project complexity and past experiences.

The statute of limitations (SOL) on amending payroll tax returns (Form 941-X) for 2021 ends on April 15, 2025, and the ERC ends on the same date. Legislators attempted to end the ERC on January 31, 2024, as part of H.R. 7024, but this bill failed in a Senate roll call vote in early August 2024.
