Webinar Employee Retention Tax Credit

Join CC Summerfieldfor a lunchtime Webinar to learn more about the Employee Retention Tax Credit! The Employee Retention tax credit (ERC) is part of the CARES Act passed in 2020 and is a federal government program that could get you up to $26,000 per W2 employee if your business qualifies. The best part is that you can use the funds however you want and the money is tax-free. I am on a mission to help as many businesses get the credit they deserve before the program ends. Learn more about the Employee Retention Tax Credit during this lunchtime Webinar with Q&A time. Friday, November 4th at noon Zoom Webinar Link
