Did you know about these Employer Tax Credits?

There is so much information being published by the IRS, SBA, and local government officials about Covid-19-related funding and loan forgiveness, that it can be really challenging for business owners to keep up with it all.

In June 2020, the IRS issued Publication 5419, New Employer Tax Credits to help employers understand the tax credits available to them due to the coronavirus pandemic. It breaks down the details of the Employer Retention Credit and the credits for paid sick and family leave in easy-to-follow charts. Using this, employers can determine whether they are eligible for the credits, the amount of the credits, and which wages apply to the credits.
