Employee Retention Credit Example

To help you understand how the employee retention credit works, let’s look at an example. Assume that your business has 10 employees and you paid each employee $5,000 in wages in the first quarter of 2020. In order to qualify for the credit, your business must have experienced a decrease in revenue of 50% or more when compared to the first quarter of 2019.

If your business meets the revenue requirements, you would be eligible for a credit of $2,500 (50% of $5,000). This credit would be applied to your quarterly payroll tax liability. If you have any questions about how the process works or how to apply it to your business, our team at SD Associates, P.C. can help with your employee retention credit study in Bucks County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia and surrounding areas.

Employee Retention Credit FAQs

What is employee retention credit? 

The employee retention tax credit was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic under the CARES act. The credit is available to eligible employers who keep their employees on the payroll during the pandemic. It was designed to encourage employers to keep employees on their payroll throughout the pandemic, as opposed to laying workers off in mass quantities.

According to the IRS, wages up to $10,000 per worker can be counted to identify the amount of your 50% credit. This can also include health plan expenses, depending on the type of policy and the total cost.

At SD Associates, P.C., we have a team of tax experts who can help you determine if your business is eligible for the employee retention tax credit. We will also help you maximize the credit by ensuring that you receive the full amount to which your business is entitled.

How do you qualify for the employee retention credit?

The first qualification for the employee retention credit is to operate an organization that is classified as a ‘trade or business.’ The trade or business’s main objective is to turn a profit, and its activity must be ongoing.

In order to qualify for the employee retention credit, your business must have experienced a decrease in revenue of 50% or more when comparing 2021 to the same quarter in 2019 and  decrease in revenue of 25% or more when comparing 2020 to the same quarter in 2019. If your business is eligible, you can claim the credit for each qualifying employee that you keep on your payroll. Businesses of all sizes can be eligible for the credit.

Organizations that are eligible for the credit include:

• Non-profit organizations
• Tribal governments or entities that run a trade or business
• Tax-exempt businesses that otherwise meet the eligibility requirements

Non-eligible organizations include:

• Household employers
• Self-employed individuals
• Federal, state, or local government entities
