Recent Developments: Additional Covid Relief Now Available For Child Care Services and Daycares

Did you know you can still claim the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), going all the way back to Q1 2020? This is true even if you received a PPP Loan!   


Similar to PPP, the Employee Retention Credit is a form of Covid relief that was created to help businesses and incentivize them to keep their workers employed. This refundable credit is worth up to $26,000 per employee


Child care services and daycares have been profoundly impacted by the pandemic, and these services in Maryland, and beyond, have been able to claim the ERC to help maintain their payrolls and navigate through the uncertainty. Even if your revenue didn’t drop, you may have experienced a partial suspension in operations that would make you eligible. 


Join our speakers, Rebecca Sheppard, Esq., and Peter Haukebo, Esq., on August 30th at 1 pm to discuss the ERC, eligibility for the credit, and tax treatment. 


Please send any topical questions in advance to: rebecca.sheppard@frosttaxlaw.com  

It is with great pleasure to introduce Frost Law’s Tax Directors, Rebecca Sheppard, and Peter Haukebo as our speakers this afternoon. Rebecca and Peter work in the tax controversy department where they help both individuals and businesses with their complex tax matters. 


Since this pandemic began, Rebecca and Peter have been on an informational campaign to help guide and inform businesses regarding eligibility of COVID 19 relief programs including PPP, FFCRA, and ERC.
