What is Employee Retention
Tax Credit (ERC)?
Employee Retention Tax Credit is a government stimulus program designed to reward for-profit and nonprofit businesses that retained employees during the pandemic. Because of the complex tax code and qualifications, many businesses are unaware that they qualify or have been mistakenly told they don’t qualify by those who simply do not know the requirements.
Program Details
- Refund Max: up to $26,000 per full-time W2 employee (< 500)

The team at JCA Specialist takes a professional approach to:
* Keep your business compliant with program rules and regulations
* Accurately calculate your ERC credits.
* Validate and document ERC eligibility.
* Reconcile attribution between the PPP and ERC payroll wages.
* Provide audit-ready documentation.
Even if you received PPP loans, you may still be eligible.
Unlike the PPP program:
* This is NOT a loan.
* This is a refund on wages paid.
This refund is a direct check to you and claimed by amending payroll tax returns.
There are NO restrictions on the use of this taxable refund.
JCA Specialist will only qualify those for an ERC refund who are eligible as defined by IRS guidelines.
