    • What is the FFCRA

      The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was passed in 2020 and was one of the earliest pieces of legislation designed to help small business owners afford the sick leave their employees had to take because of COVID-19.


      The FFCRA originally focused only on employees of certain small businesses but had been expanded in 2021 to cover US citizens who were self-employed during the COVID-19 pandemic and suffered losses in business due to lockdowns or illnesses for themselves or family members.

    • What Dates are available for FFCRA Tax Credits

      The dates you can claim under FFCRA income tax credit are between April 1, 2020 – March 31, 2021 and up to 10 days for dates between April 1, 2021 – September 30, 2021.


      Here is a breakdown of the days:


      Childcare related time off – up to 110 days


      50 days between April 1,2020 and March 31, 2021

      60 days between April 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021

    • What Qualifies as a reason for claiming ffcra

      To qualify for FFCRA credits you must have missed work because of COVID-related issues. If you were unable to work because of one of these reasons, you may be eligible:


      A government agency imposed a quarantine or isolation order.

      Your doctor recommended you self-quarantine.

      You were having COVID-19 symptoms while also waiting for an appointment with your doctor.

      You were waiting for COVID-19-related test results.

      You were getting vaccinated against COVID-19

      You were experiencing side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine.

      You took care of your children who were affected by school or daycare shutdowns.

      You took care of someone else/family members who had COVID-19 issues.

    • What Does it mean to be Self-Employed

      A self-employed person in the United States, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), is generally considered someone to who the following applies:


      You carry on a trade or business as a sole proprietor or an independent contractor.

      You are a member of a partnership that carries on a trade or business.

      You are otherwise in business for yourself (including a part-time business or a gig worker).

    • What is the definition of a dependent

      The total FFCRA Tax credit can be up to $32,200.00 and is based on your net earnings in 2020 and in 2021.


      You will have to calculate your daily average of self-employment income. This is your net earnings for the taxable year divided by 260 (the standard recognized amount of working days in a year). This allows the IRS to estimate how much you lost in wages for every day you were not able to work.


      WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE SELF-EMPLOYED?

      A self-employed person in the United States, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), is generally considered someone to who the following applies:


      You carry on a trade or business as a sole proprietor or an independent contractor.

      You are a member of a partnership that carries on a trade or business.

      You are otherwise in business for yourself (including a part-time business or a gig worker).

      WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A DEPENDENT?

      The IRS defines a dependent as either a qualifying child or relative of the taxpayer. The relative can be your child, stepchild, foster child, sibling, parent, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or certain in-law relationships.


      The Child Tax Credit helps families with qualifying children get a tax break. To have received a Child Tax credit or a credit for other dependents, you would have had to submit a Schedule 8821.


      A child must have lived with you for more than half of the tax year. Temporary absences, such as for education or medical care, are generally counted as periods of living with you. You must have provided more than half of the relative’s total support during the tax year. The relative’s gross income must be below a certain threshold determined annually by the IRS (subject to change). It’s important to note that these are just general guidelines, and there may be additional rules and exceptions. The IRS provides detailed information in publications such as IRS Publication 501.


      Examples of a Dependent:


      Child

      Parent

      Brother/Sister

      Stepparent/Stepchild

      Adoptive Daughter/Adoptive Son

      Stepbrother/Stepsister

      Half Brother/Half Sister

      Grandparent/Grandchild

      Son-in-law/Daughter-in-law

      Mother-in-law/Father-in-law

      Brother-in-law/Sister-in-law

      Uncle/Aunt

      Niece/Nephew.

    • Do I qualify for FFCRA Income Tax if I received Unemployment

      No. You cannot claim double benefits on days you already received payments from unemployment insurance claims.

    • Do weekends count

      If your standard work day includes a weekend day, or your child was in school or daycare during a weekend, then you may include them.


      If you normally don’t work on weekends or your child does not go to school on weekends, you cannot claim credits for weekends that they would not have worked or taken leave anyway. The credits are only available for the days that you would have worked or taken leave if not for the COVID-19-related reasons.

    • Do I qualify if I did not pay myself sick leave

      Yes! This is what the FFCRA was designed to cover, especially since a lot of entrepreneurs fall into this category.
