If the credit is larger than your payroll tax debt, you get the difference back in cash. You can qualify for this credit even if you took a PPP loan. However, you can\u2019t use the same wages for both the ERC and PPP loan forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to follow specific instructions to claim this credit. Don\u2019t worry, when you work with one of our Block Advisors small business certified tax pros, we\u2019ll take care of every last filing detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question: What is the FFCRA\u2014or Family First Coronavirus Response Act\u2014and how can it benefit me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/autobody-shop-owner-thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"autobody shop owner\n\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/small-business\/ffcra-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)<\/a> was designed to help American families and small businesses. Originally, it required employers to keep paying employees who had to miss work due to COVID-19, and those who did receive a tax credit to help cover the costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the tax credit also applies to employers who voluntarily kept paying employees who missed work due to COVID-19.&nbsp; It includes several elements, like guaranteed free coronavirus testing, a boost to unemployment insurance, and improvement to food safety programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus of FFCRA, though, is paid leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This act offers employees paid sick leave through two new laws:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for FFCRA tax credits, your employees need to take paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for reasons related to COVID-19 between April 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021. Also, you must be a business or tax-exempt organization with 500 employees or less. Your employees on leave, temporary leave, or those who are temporary with a continuing relationship count toward your eligibility. Independent contractors don\u2019t count toward that 500-employee rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you need to offer your employees up to 80 hours (or two weeks) of paid sick leave at 100% of their pay. Your employees must use the paid sick leave because they:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Experienced COVID-19 symptoms and sought a medical diagnosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarantined or isolated subject to an order related to COVID-19 or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advised to self-quarantine by a health care provider<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you need to offer your employees 80 hours, or two weeks, of paid sick leave due to care for others. You must pay two-thirds of the employee\u2019s regular rate of pay for employees who are caring for someone in quarantine, or providing childcare because of school or daycare closures, with a limit of $200 per day ($2,000 total).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A credit may also be available for qualified family leave wages for employees who are unable to work or telework due to a need to leave to care for a child due to provider closures related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-small-business-stimulus-and-tax-relief-help\">Get small business stimulus and tax relief help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to dive into where small business stimulus relief is concerned.
