I had a webinar postponed today because the IRS still has not issued any guidance regarding "retro ERC".
Is there clarification of a terminated employee's wages? In other words, if an employee is terminated during ERC qualifying time period, does the employee's non-severance wages count towards ERC?
Are shareholders and spouses wages count towards ERC? I think it has been determined that those wages do count for ERC.
Are tips paid by customers count towards ERC? I think it has been determined that those wages do count for ERC.
Are wages prioritized to ERC over PPP and thus have to file amended PPP loan forgiveness application?
If wages are ERC priority, how do you elect to make those wages PPP priority after PPP forgiveness has been applied for?
If wages are not ERC priority, can you allocate wages paid during the PPP 24 week covered period as needed to max out ERC?
After all of the above has been determined, do we file specific quarterly Form 941-X's or take all of the 2020 ERC in the 4th quarter 941?
Is there a time deadline for filing Form 941-X's?
I don't think that there hasn't been much official guidance on these issues. I have 6 4th quarter Form 941's on hold and I am running out of time. No wonder I can't sleep. I will eventually have to proceed at my own peril.
