The minimum number of employees is for this company only & not the IRS.}
- Have operations that were fully or partially suspended during any calendar quarter in 2020 or the first 3 quarters of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19.

The following explains more about the ERC for interested business owners:
- There is NO up-front retainer fee required. If and only if your business receives a refund check, the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) will be paid a percentage of your check after you receive it.
- The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a Payroll Tax Credit Refund designed to reward businesses for retaining employees during COVID-19.
- Business owners can receive a refundable credit up to $5,000 per employee in 2020, and $7,000 per employee, per quarter (excluding the 4th quarter), in 2021 for qualified wages. The total refund can total $26,000. This is NOT a loan. It is a refund check that business owners can spend as they wish.
- The credit was initially signed into law March 2020 as part of the CARES Act. The credit was later expanded upon with the Consolidated Appropriations Act in December 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act in June 2021.
