Putting it simply, the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is exactly what it sounds like—business owners are being rewarded for their efforts to keep employees on payroll during the pandemic. We are working 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.

Congress recently passed a $1.9 trillion COVID-relief bill to streamline this recovery, and the Employee Retention Credit is one of the most lucrative opportunities business owners should take advantage of as we work towards our future and leave this pandemic behind us.

1. From our industry expert & policy maker Dean Zerbe explains the Top Ten Mistakes of Business Owners & their Advisors on the employee Retention Credit

I’ve seen first-hand businesses receive tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax credits for the ERC – providing a night-and-day difference for those struggling to keep employees on payroll and their doors open (and of course an incredibly meaningful benefit for those employees and their families who continue to receive a paycheck).

Unfortunately I also see, in my work at alliantgroup, far too many business owners who are making mistakes as to whether their business qualifies for the ERC and how their business should properly document that they qualify for the ERC in order to pass muster with the IRS.
