Claiming the Employee Retention Credit

Many Nonprofits Have Yet to Take Advantage of This New Provision, Which Could Amount to as Much as $33,000 per Employee!

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, signed on December 27th, 2020, expanded eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) by allowing those—including tax-exempt organizations—who received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to qualify. Prior to December 27, 2020, PPP loan recipients could not also file for eligible tax credits. The expanded eligibility is retroactive, and as a result, many nonprofits that had not previously benefited from the ERC are now able to claim payroll tax credits for 2020 and 2021, if certain requirements are met. Furthermore, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended ERC through December 31, 2021, making the credit available for the entire 2021 year.

In this Webinar OnDemand, recorded April 13, 2021, Strength Matters’ partner AAFCPAs shares what nonprofit housing enterprises need to know to take advantage of the ERC, including: program criteria, qualifying expenses, and accounting treatment.
