Not So Fast! ERTC Still Open for Eligible Employers

Senate says “NO!” to House Bill to end ERTC early. Eligible Employers have until April 15th 2025 to file a claim.

The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) program is still in effect, thanks to a recent decision by the Senate. The proposal to end the ERTC early was defeated, meaning employers now have until April 15, 2025, to file a claim.

The Senate voted against the tax bill that included provisions to cut off the ERTC. This is a significant development for businesses still recovering from the pandemic, as the ERTC provides crucial support to keep employees on payroll.

Key Takeaways:

  • Senate Vote: The Senate vote fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the bill, with 48 senators voting in favor and 44 against.

  • Legislation Details: The bill aimed to revive several expired tax provisions and expand others, but it also sought to end the ERTC, which has been instrumental in helping businesses during the pandemic.

  • Job Security: Business owners warned that without revived tax provisions, many would be forced to lay off workers or shut down entirely.

  • ERTC Claims: Under current law, employers can still file amended 2021 tax returns through mid-April 2025 to claim as much as $21,000 per employee.

What This Means for Your Business

The ERTC program continues to offer financial relief to businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under current law, employers can still file amended 2021 tax returns through mid-April 2025 to claim up to $21,000 per employee.

This extension provides a valuable opportunity for businesses that have not yet taken advantage of the ERTC. It’s essential to act now and ensure you don’t miss out on this beneficial program.
