AADOM ZOOMcast: $26k Per Employee in Stimulus and Why You DO Qualify
Approved for 1 CE towards AADOM Designations
COVID-19 has been a challenge for all of us. As the world shut down, the economy came to a halt, leaving the future of many businesses in a precarious position. To help businesses focus on recovering, several government programs were put into place. One such program is the Employee Retention Credit or ERC, which is a generous stimulus program designed to bolster those businesses that were able to retain their employees during this challenging time. Due to the extremely complex tax code and qualifications, it is severely underutilized and misunderstood. This webinar will cover everything you need to know regarding the ERC and how you can ensure your office doesn’t miss out to the refund available to it.
Session Learning Objectives:
- What the Employee Retention Credit is
- Why nearly 100% of dental offices qualify for at least a portion of the credit
- Why so many offices have been incorrectly told they didn’t qualify
- Why some offices have only received a portion of what they actually qualify for
- How practice owners can claim and maximize their credit
