What is the Employee Retention Tax Credit?
September 1, 2022
The height of the COVID-19 pandemic was tough on everyone. People lost loved ones and livelihoods, and the world is still dealing with those same issues or their ripple effects today.
For small business owners, a lot of difficult choices had to be made as a result of the pandemic, and many struggled with juggling costs during such a volatile time. But those who were able to adapt to keep their employees on staff during the pandemic can now claim a well-deserved reward for doing so.
The Employee Retention Tax Credit – also known as ERTC or ERC – is a refundable credit that businesses can claim on qualified wages paid to their employees. If your business experienced setbacks during the pandemic while continuing to employ W2 staff, then you may qualify for the credit.
The ERTC was established as an incentive to keep people employed during the pandemic and to offset the quarterly employment taxes businesses are required to pay.
It is a fully refundable payroll tax credit created as part of the CARES Act and is available now to give financial relief to American business owners who held onto their employees – even during what was a very tough financial period for many leaders who guided their teams through the worst of COVID-19.
If you’re a business owner, you could be eligible to receive an ERC check if you suffered losses and faced restrictions, particularly if those losses and restrictions happened between Q4 2020 and Q3 2021.
But with everything else you have to do as a business owner, you may not have time to look into the ERTC or even know where to start. That’s where our team comes in.
We can help you file the right amended quarterly payroll tax returns on your behalf so you can claim these funds. The legal professionals with our firm are committed to helping you claim the tax incentives your business is eligible for, and we want to make sure you see every dollar you’re owed.
Perhaps most importantly, you only pay us if we win an ERC recovery check for you. Please contact us today to see how we can help you and your business!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

I would like to send special thanks to Phillips Law Group for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Best Law Firm here in the Valley. During these troubling times with the epidemic, Phillips Law Group has masterfully created this family-like environment while still maintaining a professional and business-like approach for all their clients. Thru impeccable leadership that is unmatched by other law firms to the Multi-diverse employment opportunities that many employees advance within the firm; Phillips Law Group has not only distanced themselves from all other competition in the Personal Injury field but also has innovatively changed the narrative of being a great law institution. From providing Employee Appreciation Day to celebrating all major Holiday including great competitive contests; Phillips Law Group has the total participation of all employees to help contribute to the continued success of this firm. So in closing I would like to thank Senior Administration (Jeffery Phillips, Eva Chiaramonte, and Tim Tonkin) along with all of my colleagues and many friends for help making Phillips Law Group a unique and wonderful place to call my place of employment for 6+ years.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
