- How Businesses Can Claim the ERC in 2023
January 11, 2023

It’s not too late for some business owners to claim the Employee Retention Credit, also known as the ERTC or ERC, in 2023. There is some confusing information out there about deadlines and eligibility and as a small business owner, you might believe you missed your chance to get this lucrative credit for your business. Fortunately, that’s not the case.
Claiming the ERC in 2023 is possible for some businesses. It all comes down to your quarterly payroll tax filings, and whether you can make amendments to your past federal tax returns.
The Employee Retention Credit is a refundable tax credit meant to assist businesses that maintained staff during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses can claim the credit for qualified wages paid to their employees.
If your business experienced significant setbacks during certain periods of 2020 and 2021, but you continued to keep W2 employees on staff, you may qualify for this credit and could ultimately receive up to $26,000 per employee.
The ERC was established by the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act passed by Congress in 2020) and expanded by the Relief Act, American Rescue Plan Act, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
If, for whatever reason, you did not claim the credit for the years 2020 and 2021 previously, it might be possible for you to do so for your business now.
At this time, there are two deadlines for claiming the ERC in 2023 — for all quarters in 2020, the deadline to apply for the ERC is April 15, 2024. For all quarters in 2021, the deadline is April 15, 2025.
But you may not have time as a business owner to go back in your tax returns and see if you qualify and should do an amendment. That’s where a team like the one at Phillips Law Group comes in.
Our team can potentially help you earn the ERC in 2023 and reward you for keeping people on staff during a deeply unstable financial period impacted by COVID-19. The Phillips team can take on the application process for you while you focus on your business, and you can be sure we will do all we can to make an eligible application a successful one.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

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.

As an attorney here at PLG, I’m lucky to be surrounded by seasoned attorneys and knowledgeable staff that share my enthusiasm for helping accident victims. The team here at PLG treats clients with respect and empathy while fighting hard to get the results they deserve.
