Many bankrupt businesses need financial assistance to pay their administrative expenses and creditors and to help them survive bankruptcy. The employee retention credit (ERC) is one way to solve this problem. This session will cover the basics of the ERC program, how your clients can qualify for and benefit from the ERC, and some common ERC pitfalls to avoid. The presentation will include a Q&A period.
