Time Is Running Out to Claim the ERTC—Here’s What Your Business Needs to Know

The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) was created to help businesses that kept employees on payroll during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, the clock is ticking. The IRS has set March 31, 2025, as the final deadline to file amended payroll tax returns for the 2021 ERTC period. If your business hasn’t claimed these funds yet, there’s still time—but you need to act fast.

What Is the ERTC?

The ERTC is a refundable payroll tax credit offered to eligible businesses that continued to pay employees despite experiencing disruptions due to COVID-19. It applies to wages paid in 2020 and 2021, with maximum credits of up to $26,000 per employee depending on eligibility and wage amounts.

Why You May Still Qualify

Even if your business received a PPP loan or didn’t suffer a full shutdown, you might still qualify. Eligibility factors include:

Significant decline in gross receipts in 2020 or 2021
Partial suspension of operations due to government orders
Supply chain disruptions that affected your ability to operate normally

At Comfort Profit Consulting, we review all potential qualifications—not just the obvious ones—to ensure you don’t miss out.

Common Reasons Businesses Miss Out

Many companies assume they don’t qualify or that it’s too late. Others were misinformed about eligibility if they received PPP loans. The truth is, many businesses still leave this money on the table due to confusion or uncertainty about the filing process.

That’s why we’re here to help.
