In addition to claiming tax credits for 2020, small businesses should consider their eligibility for the ERC in 2021. The ERC is now available for all four quarters of 2021, up to $7,000 per quarter.
Calculating credits for 2021 The ERC applies only to the first three financial quarters of 2021, and the eligible wages for each of these quarters are calculated at 70%. As such, the credit per employee per quarter maxes out at $7,000.
For 2021, the employee retention credit (ERC) is a quarterly tax credit against the employer's share of certain payroll taxes. The tax credit is 70% of the first $10,000 in wages per employee in each quarter of 2021. That means this credit is worth up to $7,000 per quarter and up to $28,000 per year, for each employee.
Credit amount The total ERC benefit per employee can be up to $26,000 ($5,000 in 2020 and $7,000 per quarter in 2021).
Some businesses that submitted claims for the Employee Retention Tax Credit have reported waiting anywhere from four to twelve months for their ERC refunds. In some cases, the delay in receiving their expected refund has been even longer.
