Common ERTC Questions and Concerns
What if I received PPP loans? Can I still qualify for the ERTC?
Yes. Receipt of PPP loans does not disqualify a business from receiving the ERTC. However, all PPP funds that a business did receive, and applied to payroll expenses, must be properly accounted for prior to calculating the ERTC. This step is handled by tax attorneys as part of their detailed analysis of your business.
What if my CPA already told me I don’t qualify for the ERTC?
When a CPA deems a business to “not qualify” for the ERTC, it is almost always due to the CPA’s analysis of the Revenue Reduction Test. CPA’s, broadly speaking, have been less than enthusiastic to analyze businesses under the Nominal Impact Test and have left such analysis to tax attorneys specializing in the ERTC.
What if my business was "non-essential?" Is the ERTC specific to any industry?
No. The ERTC is intended for businesses that operated during the pandemic and maintained W2 employees. Only businesses that are directly related to federal or state government are ineligible. Private businesses from any industry, including non-profits, may qualify.
What if I only have a few employees? Am I required to have a certain number of employees?
There is no minimum number of employees required to access the ERTC. However, the maximum number of employees a business may possess is 100 in 2020, and 500 in 2021.
Why haven’t I heard about the ERTC?
The ERTC has evolved significantly since its inception and this evolution has resulted in confusion and misunderstanding of the program. Without following the details contained in hundreds of pages of the CARES Act, along with subsequent executive orders by both President Trump and President Biden, the opportunity in the ERTC can be easily missed.

No. All of our work is performed on a contingency fee basis and you pay nothing until you receive your ERTC checks from the IRS.
