Ing to the ERC aggregation rules, the gross receipts for each restaurant would be combined and compared against those of previous years. If the amount declined over 50%, you'd be eligible. You would also aggregate the total employees across the restaurants to determine your total tax credit.
Fax the signed copy of your return using your computer or mobile device to the IRS's ERC claim withdrawal fax line at 855-738-7609. This is your withdrawal request. Keep your copy with your tax records. Note: This fax line is only for ERC claim withdrawals.
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).

Recording ERC received from the IRS Go to the “Banking” menu on QuickBooks and select “Make Deposits.” Choose the bank account where you received the ERC funds. Enter the date of the deposit and the amount received. Add a memo to specify that it's an ERC refund. Save the deposit.
