ERC for  New York

Many businesses across the state of New York struggled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Especially in cities, such as Albany and New York City, government mandates caused businesses to partially or fully suspend business operations. The encouragement of social distancing caused other businesses to see significant declines in gross receipts. The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC) is a refundable tax credit available to businesses in the state of New York who struggled during the pandemic. Eligible businesses can earn up to $21,000 per employee.

ERC Eligibility for New York Businesses

New York businesses must use qualified wages to apply. Your business cannot exceed over 100 employees for the 2020 tax year and over 500 for the 2021 tax year.

 

If your New York business experienced a decline in gross receipts over 50%, or you paid qualified wages to W-2 employees during 2020 or 2021, your business may be eligible.

Is ERC Taxable in New York?

Good news! The ERC refund is not considered taxable income in New York state, no matter where you are located. The amount you earn from ERC can impact payroll deductions that you claim. Businesses earning over the amount that they owed in taxes for the eligible tax year that they applied for will receive the rest of their approved ERC amount as a refund. That refund can be used in any way the business chooses, whether to pay business expenses or pay salaries or health benefits to employees.
