Identify:
1. Do you qualify for ERC?
1. What is your specific ERC qualifying
period?
2. What is your PPP Covered Period?
3. Wages that can be used for ERC (up to
$10,000 per employee, cumulatively for
2020).
4. Wages that can be used for PPP
forgiveness (Assuming 24-week Covered
Period - up to $20,833 for owner
employees and $46,154 for non-owner
employees).
Summary & Take Away
Remember:
1. Do not use the same wages for both ERC
and PPP – no double-dipping!
2. You will need to specify which wages are
used for PPP (not sure how this will be done
yet).
3. For the ERC, you lose the applicable
deduction for the Social Security tax and
wages equal to the credit amount.
1. This makes the ERC a little less
“beneficial” tax-wise than the PPP loan
forgiveness.
2. You probably need to figure your ERC
before finalizing your 2020 business tax
return.
