The ERC is a payroll tax refund for 2020 and certain periods of 2021 born out of the same government program as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
If your business experienced operating restrictions or a decline in total receipts in 2020 and/or 2021, but you retained your employees, SmartBiz may be able to help you secure up to $26,000 per employee with Ready Capital, our trusted partner.*
Your business may be able to claim an ERC even if you received PPP funding.
