Course Description: The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) was passed as part of the CARES Act to help businesses affected negatively by COVID-19. Employers not taking a Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loan should evaluate whether they can benefit from the ERC. The ERC is a refundable tax credit of up to $5,000 per employee. In this webinar, we will cover important topics relating to the Employee Retention Credit and provide examples of how it could potentially benefit your organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify which businesses do and do not qualify for the ERC
