As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect businesses across the country, the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) has become a crucial lifeline for many struggling companies. However, some business owners may be wondering if the funding for this program will run out, leaving them without the financial support they need to stay afloat.


Fortunately, the good news is that unlike other government programs, there is no limit on the amount of ERC money that is available. The ERC is calculated based on eligible quarters in 2020 and 2021, but businesses have until April 2024 to apply for ERC in 2020, and until April 2025 to apply for ERC in 2021.


Filing for ERC involves submitting an adjustment to the IRS for the business's quarterly federal tax returns. As long as this adjustment is submitted within the correct time limit, the business will receive their ERC tax refund since there is no funding limit on the program.

This is great news for businesses that are struggling to make ends meet or experience business interruption during the pandemic . It means that they can count on ERC as a reliable source of financial support, without having to worry about the program running out of funds.


Of course, it's important for businesses to act quickly and take advantage of the ERC program as soon as possible. The longer they wait, the greater the risk of missing out on this valuable resource.


In addition, navigating the ERC program can be complex and time-consuming, which is why many businesses are turning to ERC experts for guidance. These experts can help businesses understand the eligibility requirements, calculate their credit, and submit the necessary documentation to the IRS.


Overall, while the pandemic has created many challenges for businesses, the ERC program provides a glimmer of hope for those in need of financial assistance. Businesses can rest assured that they will receive the support they need to keep their doors open and their employees on the payroll.
