Virtually all transportation companies nationwide can qualify for the Employee Retention Credit.

Give us a call at 1-888-210-8870 or connect with us directly online to get help from an experienced ERC specialist.

What Transportation Companies Should Know About the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)

In March of 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). A comprehensive economic support package, the CARES Act includes the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). The ERC is a fully refundable tax credit for most businesses that stayed open and retained employees in 2020 and 2021 during the course of the pandemic.

The ERC applies to six quarters—the final three of 2020 and the first three of 2021. In total, a qualifying business can claim up to a maximum of $26,000 in a cash tax refund per employee. Better yet, most businesses and organizations in the United States qualify for the ERC. It is an even greater benefit than the PPP.

PPP Borrowers Can Do the ERC Right Now

Did your transportation company apply for the relief funds through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)? If so, you can and should still file for the Employee Retention Credit. Businesses can qualify for the ERC regardless of whether or not they got PPP funds. PPP borrowers in the transportation industry can file for the ERC right now. Do not wait: A cash refund may be available.

How Transportation Companies Can Qualify for the ERC

There are a number of different specific ways that a transportation company can qualify for the Employee Retention Credit. Based on federal guidelines, an applicant for ERC funds must meet one of the following two criteria:

  1. Subject to a Government Order: Transportation industry businesses can qualify for the ERC if they were subject to a government order that restricted commerce. Examples include cleaning and sanitizing standards, social distancing, and capacity requirements. Virtually every transportation company in the country can meet this requirement.
  2. Significant Decline in Revenue: A transportation company can also qualify for the ERC based on a significant decline in quarter-over-quarter revenue compared to pre-pandemic. For 2021, a significant decline in revenue is defined as 20 percent.

Virtually all truck companies in the United States can qualify for the Employee Retention Tax Credit.
  • Bus Companies: Travel decreased dramatically during the pandemic. Further, many companies that transport people had enhanced sanitizing requirements and capacity restrictions. We help bus companies and other transportation firms file for the ERC.
  • Medical Transportation: Medical transportation was heavily disrupted by the pandemic. Many people canceled appointments or opted for telemedicine. We help medical transportation firms claim the ERC.

How to Calculate Your Employee Retention Credit Benefit

The ERC tax credit can be 3-7 times PPP1. It  is based, in large part, on the wages paid to employees. You can claim a portion of the payroll taxes paid as a cash refund. Here is a basic overview of what transportation companies should know about how to calculate the ERC:

  • The ERC for 2020: The ERC is available for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2020. For the 2020 tax year, the ERC is calculated at 50 percent of each employee’s qualified wages—with a maximum annual benefit of $5,000 per employee. If a transportation company had five employees in 2020 and claimed the maximum ERC for each of those employees, the total cash tax refund would be $25,000.
  • The ERC for 2021: The ERC is available for Q1, Q2, and Q3 or 2021. For the 2021 tax year, the ERC tax benefit is actually greater than in 2020. The ERC calculated 70 percent of a worker’s qualifying wages, with a maximum benefit of $7,000 per quarter. That is a maximum tax benefit of $21,000 per employee for 2021. A transportation business that claims that maximum ERC refund for five employees in 2021 could claim $105,000.

As transportation businesses often have multiple employees who worked across several different quarters, calculating the exact ERC tax refund can be quite complicated. You do not have to figure it out alone. Sunrise Business Solutions | ERC Guaranteed has a proprietary system to calculate your maximum ERC. In our free assessment we will let you know how much in ERC money you will exactly get.

We Can File for the ERC for 2020 and 2021 in 2022

One of the most common questions that people have for our specialists: Is it too late to file for the Employee Retention Tax Credit? The answer is a clear and resounding “no.” You can still file for the ERC as a transportation company for both 2020 and 2021. Even if you already completed your payroll taxes, there is still plenty of time left to file for the ERC. The federal law allows for a three-year lookback period. In effect, this means that all businesses and organizations have a maximum of three years to file a revised return to get the ERC refund that is due to them. Many companies in the transportation industry have still not filed for their benefits. Act now.
