We needed to stay open because people live here, which was challenging especially since we had to close our doors to visitors, family and friends. ICS did a fabulous job helping us claim these tax credits. Thank you.
Employee Retention Tax Credit The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC) is a refundable tax credit provided as part of the CARES Act to encourage employers to retain their employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many employers and various industries including lodging, retail, restaurants, dental and other medical, startups after February 15, 2020, and many others were eligible. The window for filing ERC claims has since closed: the last deadline, for 2021 quarters, passed on April 15, 2025.
