Course Description

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) came in three waves: CARES Act, Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020, and American Rescue Plan Act.

  • First, the ERC was created by the CARES Act to allow eligible employers a refundable credit of 50% of qualified wages paid from March 13, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
  • Second, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 (TCDRA) extended the ERC to June 30, 2021, retroactively removed the restriction on PPP borrowers, and increased the percentage of qualified wages to 70% in 2021.
  • Third, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) added IRC §3134 which extended the ERC from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and added multiple new provisions. This wave crashed early with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, terminating the ERC as of September 30, 2021 for most employers.
