Hear from former IRS Acting Commissioner, Steven Miller, and former Congressman Rick Lazio as they explain the intent of the ERC and how it applies to nonprofits.
Claim up to $26,000 per Employee
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a payroll tax incentive developed to reward employers, including 501(c)(3)’s, for keeping employees on payroll during the pandemic. alliantgroup has worked closely with decision makers in Washington on this nationwide effort to help the U.S. economy not only recover from the pandemic, but to come back stronger than before.
The Employee Retention Credit is one of the most lucrative incentives included in the $1.9 trillion COVID-relief bill for nonprofits. ERC can provide even more relief than the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Other impacts that could qualify your organization for the Employee Retention Credit include:
- Full or partial shutdowns
- Stopping programming (like cancelling performances or in-person events)
- Paying employees who are not able to work
- Vendor disruptions
- Reduced hours of operation
- Changing hours to sanitize your facility
- And more
The ERC has gone through significant updates, so even if you and your advisor have reviewed ERC before, we encourage you to take another look with one of our specialists to uncover all qualifying activities and wages that will maximize your benefit and refund.
